Hershey's Red Azalea

Attracts Butterflies and Hummingbirds

With the botanical name, 'Rhododendron', Hershey's Red Azalea produces masses of slightly fragrant, 2", red double blooms in mid-spring, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Dark green leaves display throughout the seasons, functioning as a 3' x 3' hedge. Perfect for spring containers, be sure to prune immediately after flowering to ensure abundant blooms for many years to come. Best grown in acidic, well-drained soil in a full sun or partial shade landscape. Hershey's Red Azalea ships established in its own container. Deciduous. Zones 6-9.
