Girard's Crimson Azalea is a compact rounded evergreen  shrub with small glossy leaves that earn red and copper tones in winter.  Clusters of rosy crimson to purple-red flowers with a deep red splotch bloom throughout spring.  A very versatile plant that prefers  partial sun with acidic rich, well-drained soils.  Azaleas are excellent  pollination and  butterfly attractors

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot.  Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust.  Azaleas are prone to many diseases and pest problems, but the proper environment and care should negate most of them.
