Wow! Red Pepper is another heat tolerant Aromi deciduous azalea hybrid that has definitely earned a spot in our garden. No wonder it was the 2008 American Rhododendron Society's Rhododendron of the Year! The glowing, rich red-orange azalea blossoms sit in neat rounded clusters atop bare stems. A gorgeous spring show, fragrant, and it attracts butterflies and other spring pollinators. In the garden, the Aromi Deciduous Azalea Hybrids have the look, feel, and fragrance of many of, or are improvements upon, our most beautiful, US native deciduous azaleas, sometimes called Bush Honeysuckles, and yet are easy and vigorous enough for the average gardener to be successful with.
