Bring bold spring color to colder gardens with Azalea × 'Electric Lights™ Red', a deciduous azalea selected for outstanding bud hardiness and vivid red, lightly to strongly fragrant blooms. You will enjoy clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in mid to late spring, often opening before the leaves for maximum impact.

Plant your azalea in humus-rich, acidic, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal in warmer areas, while full sun is usually fine in cooler climates when soil moisture is consistent. Mulch with pine bark or leaf mold to help keep roots cool and conserve moisture, and water during dry spells, especially the first year as the plant establishes.

This shrub matures to roughly 48-60 inches tall with a dense, upright mounded habit. Prune only as needed, and do it right after flowering to avoid removing next year's buds. Pair it with other acid-loving plants and give it shelter from drying winter winds for best performance.
