The Red Ruffle Azalea is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its showy clusters of vibrant red, ruffled flowers that bloom in spring. With its glossy green foliage and brilliant seasonal display, this azalea is perfect for adding bold color to borders, foundations, and woodland gardens.

Its dense, rounded habit makes it a great choice for low hedges or mass plantings, and it thrives in acidic, well-draining soil. The Red Ruffle Azalea pairs beautifully with other spring-blooming shrubs and provides year-round structure to the landscape.

Care Instructions:

Light: Partial shade; protect from harsh afternoon sun.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; mulch to retain moisture.
Soil: Prefers acidic, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
Fertilizer: Use an acid-loving plant fertilizer after flowering.
Growth Habit: Evergreen shrub; typically grows 2–4 feet tall and wide.
Hardiness: USDA zones 7–9.
Pet Safety: ⚠️ Toxic if ingested; keep away from pets and children.

👉 Plant the Red Ruffle Azalea in your garden for bold spring blooms and evergreen beauty year-round.
