Rhododendron ‘Fireball’ (Exbury), known as Exbury ‘Fireball’ azalea, is a spectacular shrub recognized for its vibrant spring bloom of intense, almost incandescent, orange-red, which immediately catches the eye.

Its deciduous green foliage transforms into warm autumnal hues, extending its ornamental interest throughout the seasons. Appreciated for its vigor and generous flowering, this azalea prefers acidic, rich, and well-drained soil, as well as a sunny to partially shaded exposure. Rhododendron ‘Fireball’ is ideal for those who wish to add a lively, warm, and dynamic touch to the garden.
