Orangish-red double blooms make the Hershey Orange Azalea stand out during the spring. The 2-inch wide, trumpet-shaped flowers are showy individually but bloom in clusters for an even bigger and more impressive display. The Rhododendron 'Hershey's Orange' has ovate dark green leaves with a lustrous shine. The foliage transitions to a red hue during the fall and winter for continued color and visual interest.

This Azalea has a low, spreading growth habit with tiered branches. Include the Hershey Orange Azalea in beds, borders, or a large container. The short stature makes for a lovely low hedge to separate different outdoor areas or works well as a foundation planting. The double blooms attract pollinators. Grow the Hershey Orange Azalea in zones 7 through 10.

Hershey Orange Azalea Care

Plant the Hershey Orange Azalea in partial shade for best performance. A location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade is preferred. The soil should be fertile, moist, well drained, and acidic. Keep the soil damp but not saturated or dry. A thick layer of organic mulch will retain moisture and protect the shallow roots from extreme temperatures. Fertilize annually each spring for abundant springtime blooms.

Prune as needed after the flowers fade. The Hershey Orange Azalea has a pleasing natural shape, so pruning is not often necessary. Remove dead or damaged growth at any time.

Hershey Orange Azalea Spacing

The Hershey Orange Azalea reaches 2 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. Space shrubs 3 to 5 feet apart to create a hedge or consistent planting.
