Bright dark red flowers with purple spotting and wavy lobes cover this plant in summer. Sometimes as late as early August. Dense growing with small, dark green leaves. A good candidate for bonsai.

Bright brick-red flowers in June on this low creeping evergreen azalea. The fuzzy-hairy, deep green glossy leaves densely cover the spreading stems of this tidy bit of rabbit food. A beautiful little ground cover with cold and heat tolerance that is easy in sun or light shade.
