Azalea Red Rag

Red Rag is a variety of Azalea grown for its lovely form and profuse flowering. This hardy, deciduous shrub produces masses of showy, red flowers with orange undertones through spring. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide, growing best when planted in a semi-shade or full sun position on a well-drained, sheltered site. When grown in full sun it tends to be more compact. Plants tolerate frost and require moisture during dry periods. Avoid lime fertiliser. Red Rag is excellent for mixed or border plantings, outdoor living areas, containers, cottage gardens, and mass plantings on banks. It is low maintenance and easy to grow.
