Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide, the ‘Fireside Red’ Bloom ‘N Again Azalea is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a colorful flowering evergreen hedge in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It’s intense red blooms and abundance of flowers makes it one of the best selections for growing in larger containers and pots, which can be strategically placed to dress up decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. Bloom ‘N Again Azaleas do quite well under tall trees and in woodland borders where they’ll get at least 3 to 6 hours of direct sun per day, preferably in the morning or evening with some shade or filtered sun during the mid afternoon hours. A fine addition to Azalea and Rhododendron gardens, red theme gardens, butterfly gardens, partially shaded woodland gardens and cottage gardens.

Spacing:  4 feet apart for solid hedges;  8’+ for space between plants

A little good advice goes a long way, especially when it comes to success with azaleas. We’ve been growing them in our gardens for decades.

Soil.  When planted right, and in the right spot, Bloom ‘N Again Azaleas are among the easiest azaleas easy to grow. In the ground, they adapt well to most soil types. That said, some soils such as heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils might need to be amended to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and/or moisture retention. 

In general, like all other azaleas, the Bloom ‘N Agains prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. In containers, we recommend a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil. Know that whether growing in the ground or in containers, constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas, and most other plants for that matter. 

Sun.  Pick a spot in the garden that receives at least 6 hours of full sun (preferably in the morning) to help produce beautiful blooms and lush foliage. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay.
