Azalea 'Midnight Flare' Fiery Red Blooms

Evergreen Azalea With Big Fiery Red Flowers

Harris Hybrid

Zones 6-8

‘Midnight Red’ is perhaps one of the darker fiery red azaleas on the market. The dark red 2 inch blooms that cover this shrub azalea is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of ‘Midnight Flare’. ‘Midnight Flare’ was awarded the 2010 Rhododendron of the Year for the Southeastern United States by the American Rhododendron Society. ‘Midnight Flare’ has a smaller compact habit reaching 3-4 ft in height and width in 10 years.

‘Midnight Flare’ was hybridized during James Harris’s “Red Period”, as Roger Duvall calls it. During this breeding period after 1985, Harris had a goal of producing great red flowering evergreen azaleas that could handle cold winters.

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have hundreds of azalea cultivars, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the azaleas you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
