Hino Crimson is a compact, evergreen azalea known for its brilliant crimson-red blooms that cover the plant in mid to late spring. Its dense, mounded habit and small, dark green leaves make it perfect for foundation plantings, borders, or mass plantings.

Azalea Growing and Maintenance Tips
Planting: Azaleas prefer partial shade or dappled sun with well-drained, acidic soil. Avoid planting in hot, dry locations with direct afternoon sun or reflected sunlight.
Watering: Avoid over or under watering
Fertilizing: In the spring after the last frost, fertilize with a well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer for acid loving plants.
Pruning: After the flowers finish blooming, you can remove the dead flowers and seed heads and trim the plant. Avoid trimming after July 1 because it will remove flower buds that would bloom the following season. Trimming anywhere along the stem can encourage new growth.
