'Girard's Fuchsia' is an outstanding azalea that is covered in masses of lightly-scented fuchsia trumpet-shaped flowers with a red blotch in the mid spring. The flowers contrast beautifully with the handsome foliage of small, narrow, olive green leaves, which take on reddish tones in the winter. Needs rich, acidic soils to ensure success. It is a relatively low maintenance shrub and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. Not deer resistant.
