One of the most popular evergreen azaleas, 'Hino Crimson' does not disappoint. It is one of the first azalea to start blooming often showing color. The brilliant scarlet red single flowers are small, but profuse, almost entirely coving the shrub at peak bloom becoming a beacon in the garden. It tight dense habit gives a tidy compact look in the landscape and works well with the smaller urban garden. It can be used as a single bright punctuation in a planting or placed in drifts creating eye catching ribbons of red. The dark green shiny foliage of 'Hino Crimson' would make a good informal low hedge or can be used in combinations with other compact growers.
