Bring four-season interest to your landscape with Azalea × 'Arctic Rose', an evergreen azalea prized for its showy spring color and bright, clean foliage. In mid to late spring, the shrub is covered with clusters of rich rose-red flowers that stand out beautifully against deep green leaves edged in white. Even after bloom, the variegated foliage keeps beds and foundation plantings looking fresh and finished.

At maturity, this compact shrub typically reaches 36 to 48 inches tall and about 48 to 60 inches wide, forming a dense, rounded shape that works well as a specimen, in small groupings, or as a low, informal hedge. Use it to brighten woodland borders, mixed shrub plantings, and partially shaded entry areas where its evergreen form provides structure through winter.

For best results, plant in full sun to part shade, with some afternoon shade in warmer climates. Provide consistently moist, well-drained soil and mulch to keep roots cool and evenly moist. Because azaleas have shallow roots, water during dry spells and avoid deep cultivation around the base.

Prune only if needed and do so right after flowering, since buds for next year form on old wood. With the right siting and a little protection from harsh winter wind, 'Arctic Rose' rewards you with dependable spring bloom and handsome foliage all year.
