Azalea × 'Hino-Crimson' (Evergreen Azalea 'Hino-Crimson') is a classic Kurume-type evergreen azalea valued for an intense spring flower show and a neat, compact habit. You can use it as a foundation shrub, low hedge, or in mass plantings where the crimson blooms make a strong seasonal statement.

Give your plant filtered sun to partial shade; morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal in many gardens. In hotter exposures, sheltering it from harsh afternoon sun helps keep foliage looking its best. Plan for a mature size around 36-48 inches tall with a broader spread, and allow room for air circulation around the dense branching.

Plant in humus-rich, acidic, well-drained soil and keep moisture consistent, especially while it establishes. Mulch with pine bark or shredded leaves to keep roots cool and evenly moist, and water deeply during dry spells rather than frequent light watering. Avoid sites that stay soggy in winter. If you need to shape the plant, prune right after flowering so you do not remove next season's buds. Feed after bloom with an acid-forming fertilizer formulated for azaleas and other ericaceous shrubs.
