Azalea 'Stewartstonian'
Common Name: Stewartstonian Gable Hybrid Azalea
Azalea ‘Stewartstonian’ is a classic evergreen azalea prized for its brilliant scarlet-red flowers, excellent cold hardiness, and attractive winter foliage color. Blooming in mid spring, the single, vivid red flowers create a strong focal point in shaded landscapes. Foliage is dark green and glossy in summer, often turning bronze to reddish-purple in winter, adding off-season interest. ‘Stewartstonian’ forms a dense, low, spreading habit, making it especially useful for mass plantings and foundations. It is widely regarded as one of the hardiest red-flowering evergreen azaleas.
