Plant Overview

Azalea Girard Hot Shot

Rhododendron 'Girard Hot Shot'

Azalea 'Girard Hot Shot' is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub. Vivid orange-red blooms with a fiery intensity cover this compact azalea in spring. An exceptional color that stands out dramatically in woodland and foundation plantings. Performs best in partial shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Mulching helps retain moisture and protect roots. A cornerstone of foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and shaded borders where bold seasonal color and evergreen foliage are desired.
