Bright red flowers burst into bloom at the first sign of spring, covering the evergreen foliage of ‘Stewartstonian’.

Azaleas are a staple in the southern landscape, but can be enjoyed in nearly any part of the country with proper winter care. Whether planted in beds, borders, containers, or as a hedge, this tried-and-true shrub will electrify your landscape with eye-popping color.
