The Azalea 'Stewartstonian' is an excellent shrub for beginners! It has exceptionally vivid, brick-red flowers that bloom beautifully against its dark green foliage in the spring. As an added bonus, the foliage turns a wine-red color in the fall. This large-growing plant is low-maintenance, attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and is known to thrive in northern conditions.
