Width (at Maturity):   2-3 ft. Soil Preference:  Peat Moss   Azalea 'Red Bird' (Rhododendron 'Red Bird') is a stunning deciduous shrub that produces an abundance of bright, fiery-red flowers in early to mid-spring. The flowers are large, trumpet-shaped, and have a distinctive yellow-orange flare at the throat, adding an extra layer of interest to this already striking plant. 'Red Bird' grows in a compact, mounding form, typically reaching a height and width of 4-5 feet. Its deep green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the flowers, and turns a deep burgundy color in the fall, making it an excellent choice for use as a foundation planting, specimen plant, or in a mixed border. This Azalea prefers well-drained, acidic soil, and partial shade to filtered sun. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, requiring little pruning beyond the occasional removal of dead or damaged wood. In addition to its stunning blooms, 'Red Bird' is also prized for its year-round ornamental value, and its ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. Its deep green foliage turns a stunning burgundy color in the fall, adding an extra layer of interest to the landscape. Overall, Azalea 'Red Bird' is a must-have for any garden that values bold color and year-round ornamental value. Its stunning blooms and easy-care nature make it an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels.  

Choose a partially shaded location with well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant the azalea slightly higher than the surrounding soil to promote good drainage. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Apply mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch away from the base of the plant.

Azalea ‘Red Bird’ is an evergreen azalea admired for its bright red, trumpet-shaped flowers and glossy green foliage. It thrives in partial shade and consistently moist, acidic soil. Avoid waterlogged soil and protect the plant from harsh afternoon sun.

Fertilize after flowering with an azalea or acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune lightly after blooming to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth. This variety performs well in warm climates and adds striking color to landscapes.
