Rhododendron × 'Hino-Crimson' | Hino-Crimson Azalea

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron × ‘Hino-Crimson’ is a compact evergreen shrub with a dense, spreading habit and small, glossy dark green leaves that often take on bronzed tones in winter. In early to mid spring, it is covered with abundant clusters of single flowers in crimson-red shades. Each bloom is broad and flat, creating a vivid carpet of color that can nearly hide the foliage during peak flowering.

This cultivar originated in Japan and is valued for its floriferous nature and tidy form, ‘Hino-Crimson’ has become a dependable choice for mass plantings, low hedges, slopes, and foundation beds. Its early bloom time, evergreen structure, and strong spring presence make it especially useful in temperate gardens where reliable color is desired early in the season.
