Evergreen Azalea 'Girard's Rose' 7 Gallon

Rhododendron 'Girard's Rose'

This hardy, semi-evergreen azalea is a showy choice, displaying a profusion of deep red-rose, single flowers each spring. It is beautiful as both a specimen plant and when planted en masse for an impressive display. The semi-evergreen foliage takes on a red tint in the fall. 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.
