Family Ericaceae

Azalea 'Red Demon' is a compact and intensely colored Japanese azalea, renowned for its rich and uniform deep scarlet spring bloom, which almost entirely covers the plant. Its low, dense, and rounded habit creates a spectacular floral cushion, ideal for structuring borders, rockeries, or partial shade beds. After flowering, its lustrous dark green foliage maintains a beautiful appearance throughout the summer and can take on purple hues in cooler weather, extending its ornamental interest. Highly prized for its strong visual impact and regular shape, 'Red Demon' brings intensity, contrast, and elegance to Japanese-inspired or classic gardens, while remaining easy to integrate and maintain.
