The common name for this plant is Red Ruffles Azalea and the botanical name is Azalea 'Red Ruffles'. The Red Ruffles Azalea is evergreen, meaning that the leaves stay on the plant all year round, providing year round color. There are red colored flowers that bloom during spring.
Consider growing these in garden planters or containers for added flexibility on locations limited on space or sunlight. Space these slightly closer together to create a hedge, perfect for borders, privacy and wind protection. Stays short and perfect as a border plant, which are perfect placed along the edge of a garden bed or path. Fantastic as a mass planting, which is a method of filling in a landscape area with flower groupings of one or more kinds of plants. This is typically done to reduce maintenance by minimizing weeds or to create drama by drawing attention to the area. These look great in woodland gardens, where natural plantings incorporate large trees with lots of under planting of shade plants. By planting these into a hedge, it forms a formal privacy screen. The Red Ruffles Azalea typically grows 2-4 feet tall, and 2-4 feet wide. The growth habit is compact.
This plant can handle filtered sunlight, partial shade and full sunlight conditions.
