Evergreen Azalea 'Girard's Christina' 7 Gallon

Rhododendron 'Christina Red'

This attractive, compact evergreen possesses large, deep rose to pink colored blooms in spring. 'Christina' also offers good cold hardiness, compact growth, and autumn color that make this plant a great choice for part shade foundation plantings, borders, or hedges with Hydrangea, Ferns, and Liriope as companions. Azaleas prefer protected spots with some shade plus well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1? of water once a week the first year. Prune in spring immediately after flowering to control size, and remove stray shoots or damaged limbs anytime. Fertilize in early spring, mid-summer and fall with an acidic fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2? to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Wrap in burlap or spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation.
