This tried and true azalea can be enjoyed in nearly any part of the country. 'Johanna' is an exceptional cold hardy variety that bursts into bloom in spring with an abundance of bright carmine-red blossoms. With the arrival of cooler weather, its glossy, dark green leaves turn a brilliant burgundy hue. This densely branched, medium-sized shrub is an excellent choice for brightening a shady spot in the garden. Azaleas work well as specimens in woodland gardens, mixed borders and containers and are a traditional choice for bonsai.
