The Stewartstonian Azalea is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that provides year-round visual interest and thrives all the way up in zone 5. Bright, red-orange trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in the spring. Glossy, deep-green foliage provides a nice contrast against the flowers. By fall, the leaves turn a reddish-chocolate hue. Old leaves drop during the winter but will be replaced by mahogany-colored foliage in the spring. This is a slow-growing plant that will be covered in flowers during the spring.

Feature this Azalea in an area where the lovely springtime blooms will be on full display. This stunner is good to feature in a bed, border, or mass planting. At 5 to 6 feet tall and with an upright growth habit, this shrub can make a beautiful hedge or privacy screen. The bold red flowers are a draw for hummingbirds and butterflies. The Stewartstonian Azalea grows as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 8.

Stewartstonian Azalea Care

The Stewartstonian Azalea is a medium-care plant. Select a good site and mind the soil for best results, but know that this plant does need some help to thrive. Plant this shrub in full sun to partial shade. The Stewartstonian Azalea can take on the full sun in northern areas but will require more shade in southern regions. The soil quality is important for this Azalea cultivar. Use rich, acidic soil that is moist but still allows drainage. Water about one inch per week, taking care to ensure the soil does not dry out. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help hold in the moisture.

Applying organic mulch can help feed the plant and support healthy growth or use a balanced fertilizer in the spring. More advanced gardeners may want to test the soil and apply an acidic fertilizer if the soil pH is too high. Remove dead growth as needed and shape the shrub after the blooms fade away.

Stewartstonian Azalea Spacing

This shrub is an upright, spreading Azalea with woody stems. The Stewartstonian Azalea will grow 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. Plants can be grown 2 to 3 feet apart to create a hedge or allow more space so that this beauty will be a focal point.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
