Girard’s Hot Shot Evergreen Azalea

Hot Shot Girard Azalea (Azalea x “Girard’s Hot Shot’) is a hardy, ornamental shrub with brilliant flowers. An ideal size for shrub borders, foundation plantings, or a low hedge, this beautiful azalea is also suitable for use by Japanese Bonsai enthusiasts. You’ll love this Azalea all year long. In spring, this shrub comes alive with masses of 3-inch, fiery orange/scarlet blooms every spring. The large, ruffled flowers, interspersed amid the vibrant dark-green hues of its compact form, present a splendid display in your front yard landscape as a foundation planting. Use in your back yard to highlight a seating area. Plan an annual party to Welcome Spring during bloom time. You’ll also love the beautiful foliage in the fall, as it shines with firey red majesty. Even in winter, the evergreen nature gives some much-welcomed interest and color throughout the drabbest of the seasons. This is an extremely hardy evergreen Azalea and needs very little pruning. Its smaller, more compact size, is a welcome addition for those with smaller planting spaces. After bloom, it adapts very well to pruning to augment the plant’s natural mounding habit. It’s drought-tolerant and requires little care beyond a well-drained soil. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators love the bright flowers, and you’ll enjoy providing them with this special treat. 2-4 dry liters or 10-12 dry liters
