The Girards Fuchsia Azalea produces a showy display of color in the spring, making a big statement in any landscape! Prolific single fuchsia flowers, which are lightly scented and ruffled, blanket this beautiful shrub from April to May. Its leaves hold their glossy green color before getting a reddish tint in autumn. Girards Fuchsia is an upright rounded evergreen shrub that is compact and hardy. It thrives in colder climates. If needed, it is best to prune immediately after flowering to avoid damage to the following spring's blooms. Perfect for use in mass plantings or as a single specimen, this evergreen shrub works well in mixed borders, in woodland gardens or in foundation plantings.
