Bring fiery spring color to your landscape with Azalea × 'Red Demon', a compact deciduous azalea valued for its vivid red flowers and dependable performance in cooler climates. You can use it as a standout specimen, in mixed shrub borders, or as a glowing accent along woodland edges where its blooms light up the spring garden.

Plant it in acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist. Choose a site with morning sun and afternoon shade where summers are hot, or give it full sun in cooler areas; consistent moisture and a light mulch help protect shallow roots and reduce stress during dry spells.

Water deeply during establishment and whenever rainfall is scarce, especially in late spring and summer. Mulch with pine bark or leaf mold, keeping mulch a few inches away from the stems. Feed lightly in early spring with a fertilizer intended for acid-loving plants if your soil is lean, and avoid over-fertilizing which can reduce flowering.

After flowering, prune only as needed to shape, removing spent blooms and any crossing or weak stems. Deadhead selectively if you like a tidier look, but focus on keeping the plant healthy with good drainage and steady moisture. Mature plants typically reach about 42-54 inches tall with a rounded, shrub form that fits well in smaller gardens.
