Rhododendron x 'Midnight Flare'

 

Midnight Flare Azalea delivers uncompromising floral drama through deep, lipstick-red blooms of exceptional intensity and saturation. These darkest-red flowers possess a sculptural quality reminiscent of hand-carved wax, creating striking visual impact against glossy, dark-green evergreen foliage. Reaching 3–5 feet tall with a 4-foot spread, this cultivar excels in mass plantings, mixed borders, foundation applications, and container cultivation. Its abundant spring flowering and cut-flower longevity make it exceptionally valuable for gardeners seeking bold chromatic statements and sustained ornamental presence both in landscape settings and interior arrangements.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Azalea, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, or Camellia as they all prefer fall planting with less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting these varieties.
