The Red Formosa Azalea is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its large, vibrant purplish-red blooms with darker accent blotches. Growing 6-8 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide, it makes an excellent hedge or border plant. Blooming in spring and sometimes again in fall, it attracts butterflies and adds year-round beauty. Thriving in partial shade, it tolerates sun and heat better than many azaleas. It prefers acidic, well-drained soil and benefits from mulching and pruning after flowering. Low-maintenance yet visually striking, this azalea is perfect for enhancing any landscape.
