A hardy variety with bright fuchsia blooms that cover a dense mounded shrub in mid spring; ideal when massed in borders, foundation plantings, or low screening; absolutely must have well-drained, highly acidic and organic soil
Ornamental Features:
Girard's Fuchsia Evergreen Azalea is covered in stunning clusters of lightly-scented fuchsia trumpet-shaped flowers with a dark red blotch at the ends of the branches in mid spring. It has green foliage which emerges light green in spring. The glossy narrow leaves remain green throughout the winter. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes:
Girard's Fuchsia Evergreen Azalea is an open multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
