Azalea x 'Girard's Renee Michelle'
This prolific azalea cultivar produces abundant very deep pink flowers with distinctive ruffled petals and dark pink spotted throats that attract hummingbirds, making it ideal for pollinator-focused landscapes. Its compact habit and semi-evergreen character provide sustained seasonal interest while thriving in partially shaded mixed borders, courtyards, and foundation plantings. Girard's Renee Michelle combines reliable performance with minimal maintenance requirements, delivering consistent color impact in challenging shade conditions where many ornamentals underperform.
