Rhododendron x 'Girard's Fuchsia' | Girard's Fuchsia Azalea

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron × ‘Girard’s Fuchsia’ is an evergreen azalea with dense, glossy, green foliage that can take on reddish winter tones. In mid spring, usually April into May, it opens generous clusters of ruffled, wavy flowers in bright fuchsia to pink-purple shades. Individual blooms can reach about 3 inches across, and the color holds well through spring weather.

This cultivar comes from the Ohio-based Girard Nursery breeding program in the late 1940s, developed to broaden hardiness and garden reliability. As it matures it becomes a substantial, well-branched shrub, valued for consistent spring flowering and good winter leaf retention, fitting woodland borders, foundation beds, and mixed shrub plantings.
