The deep crimson red flowers of HinoDegiri Evergreen Azalea do not fade after filling the shrub with a mass of flowers in spring. This is a pretty border or hedge plant because of the color and number of flowers it produces. And butterflies love the single red flowers. But there's more – HinoDegiri also has glossy, evergreen foliage that turns red in winter. That's a lot of color throughout the year in one easy-care rhododendron.
Hinodegiri Evergreen Azalea, Azalea kurume x 'Hino-Degiri', grows well in zones 5 through 8, so it is cold hardy. It also can produce its mass of flowers despite favoring partly shady conditions. At about 3 to 4 feet high and wide once it reaches full size, HinoDegiri is small enough to feature in a large container or as a special focus of a garden bed or border. It's also a pretty choice for Asian garden designs or woodland landscapes. The deep red flowers cover the shrub at peak bloom, making a nice contrast against conifers or other foliage.
