Azalea 'Mollala Red', or 'Mollala Red' hardy azalea, is a shrub with a dense, rounded habit, cultivated for its spectacular vivid red flowers with scarlet highlights, which bloom in vibrant clusters in spring. Its medium green foliage, decorative throughout the season, turns orange in autumn, extending its appeal far beyond flowering. Its generous and luminous bloom makes this variety an excellent choice for semi-shaded beds, woodland borders, or flowering hedges, where it attracts the eye and pollinators. 'Mollala Red' combines floral intensity, robustness, and natural structure, while also being highly resistant to harsh winters.
