Az.'Fireball'

Here is one of the most brilliant of the hot color Exbury type azaleas that we have seen. Growing to 4-5 ft tall, this azalea is a show stopper. The ball-shaped trusses have red-orange with hints of golden-yellow mixed in. And on top of that they have FRAGRANCE!. Blooms in May-June with dark green foliage after that. In the fall the plant lights up the garden with burgundy-red leaves before the leaves drop. Excellent in a garden setting as well as a container plant on the deck. Because the plants do not have leaves in winter some gardeners tuck these types behind evergreen plants. Either way, you will be very happy with Az. 'Fireball' Hardy to zone 6.
