FIREBALL DECIDUOUS AZALEA
Azalea 'Fireball' is a deciduous azalea that is a stunner! It is an exceptionally hardy variety with a massive display of fiery red-orange flowers that appear at the same time as its very showy reddish-green foliage that emerges in mid to late spring.
Fireball Azalea is easy to grow and thrives in full to partial sun and rich, fertile, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal for foundation plantings, next to the deck or any spot where it can be visible. You do not want to miss its flower show!

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade - this type is significantly more sun-tolerant than evergreen azaleas. Ensure soil is acidic, well-draining, and rich in organic matter. Plant shallow - the top of the root ball should sit 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding soil level; never bury the crown. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the first two growing seasons. Mulching: Apply 2 to 3 inches of pine needles or bark, keeping it away from the main stem. Note: This plant is deciduous; it will drop its leaves in late autumn. This is a natural dormant phase, not a sign of illness.
