Hino-Crimson Azalea is a relatively small rhododendron that explodes with crimson color each spring. Showy, single flowers appear all over the shrub. The crimson red blooms amass on a low-growing plant with small green leaves. The semi-evergreen shrub keeps its leaves in winter and drops the old leaves just as it forms new ones, so it's nearly year-round color makes this a perfect plant to feature in the landscape or line up as a border or hedge.
Growing to about 2 to 4 feet tall, Hino-Crimson Azalea is a pretty garden bed border plant or colorful hedge or mass planting. It reaches about 3 to 5 feet wide with moderate growth. Its shade tolerance also makes this and other rhododendrons good choices for woodland landscapes, where the crimson flowers add spring interest under tree canopies. Hino-Crimson also is excellent in Asian gardens. The shrub grows well in zones 6 through 9.
Hino-Crimson Azalea Care
Plant Hino-Crimson Azalea in partial shade and where it receives some protection from high winds.

Make sure the soil is rich with organic matter, slightly acidic, and drains well, and add a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant. Water Hino-Crimson regularly; you should not need to fertilize the shrub.
Hino-Crimson Azalea Spacing
For a pretty foundation hedge along the front of your home, group several Hino-Crimson Azaleas about 4 feet apart from center to center.
