Family Ericaceae

Azalea 'Hino-Crimson' is a very compact and floriferous Japanese azalea, prized for its abundant, vibrant crimson-red flowers that almost completely cover the plant in spring. Its dense, rounded habit, combined with shiny dark green foliage that is evergreen in mild climates or semi-evergreen in cold climates, makes it an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, or structured beds. This variety forms a low and neat floral cushion, ideal for creating sustained color effects in classic or Japanese landscapes. ‘Hino-Crimson’ combines generous flowering, compactness, and chromatic intensity, while remaining very easy to maintain.
