Rhododendron 'Hinode-Giri'(Kurume Hybrid)
Common Name: Evergreen Azalea, Hinode-giri Azalea, Kurume Azalea
Hinodegiri (Rhododendron ‘Hinodegiri’) is an evergreen azalea with red flowers. Its display arrives in the early-to-middle part of the rhododendron flowering season, with the exact timing influenced by local weather. Individual flowers measure about 1⅛ inches across. The flower tubes widen into flared faces that display the color clearly.
The green leaves have a glossy surface that gives the foliage a distinct presence between flowering seasons. Cool-season foliage can develop burgundy and red tones. Its low early growth makes it useful near the front of a planting where the flowers remain easy to see.
Give it acidic, humus-rich soil that stays moist and drains freely. A sheltered position with filtered light or morning sun is a useful starting point; protect the roots from prolonged drying and keep mulch clear of the stems.
