Back to buying optionsMidnight Flare Azalea – Rhododendron x ‘Midnight Flare’ Live Plant, 1 Quart, Red Flowering Evergreen Shrub
Add a dramatic splash of color to your garden with this Midnight Flare Azalea (Rhododendron x ‘Midnight Flare’). This evergreen flowering shrub produces striking tomato-red blooms that cover the plant in mid-spring, creating a beautiful display against its green foliage. It has an upright, spreading growth habit with multiple stems and makes an excellent choice for garden borders, low screens, shade gardens, and woodland landscapes. This relatively low-maintenance azalea grows best in shaded to partially sunny locations with suitable acidic soil. The plant is grown in a 1-quart nursery pot but ships in a fabric grow bag without the original plastic pot. Some destinations receive bare-root plants, and plants may arrive dormant during the cooler months. Flowers are not guaranteed at the time of delivery.
You will receive:
✔️ 1 live Midnight Flare Azalea plant
✔️ Currently grown in a 1-quart nursery pot
✔️ Evergreen shrub with red flowering variety
✔️ Shipped in a fabric grow bag, not the original plastic pot
✔️ May arrive dormant or bare root depending on season and destination
