Deciduous Hybrid Azalea
Rhododendron Azalea Fireball
A hardy, deciduous variety with dark green foliage and tight trusses of large, orangey-red flowers which are a real showstopper in May and June. It is a Knaphill Exbury Hybrid with dark green, maroon-tinted leaves and fantastic purple-red and bronzy autumn foliage colour. Daintier than the garden Rhododendron, it is ideal for smaller gardens or for filling in gaps in a mixed or shrub border.
