Description
Bring spring to life with the bold color of the Bixby Azalea, a compact evergreen azalea that delivers brilliant red blooms year after year. In mid to late spring, clusters of lightly-scented, funnel-shaped flowers unfurl from dark red buds, creating a spectacular burst of color. Even after blooming, the glossy dark green foliage provides reliable structure and beauty, remaining lush and vibrant through the winter months.
Ideal for smaller gardens, borders, or containers, this red azalea has a tidy, upright, and spreading form that reaches just 3 feet tall and wide. Whether planted en masse or featured as a focal point, the Bixby Azalea adds bold, seasonal interest and year-round appeal. For best results, plant in moist, acidic soil enriched with organic matter, and avoid spots with harsh afternoon sun or reflected heat. Hardy in zones 5 to 8, this compact flowering shrub brings long-lasting charm to any outdoor space.
