Colorful Spring Garden Bed with ‘Hino-Crimson’ Azalea Start your growing season by showcasing the vibrant blooms of 'Hino-Crimson' azalea along with other shade garden favorites. Add a burst of spring color with ‘Hino-Crimson’ azalea
The vibrant blooms of ‘Hino-Crimson’ azalea are real attention getters. It’s a no-brainer as a specimen but fits in well with other border companions too.
Early spring brings loads of blooms from ‘Hino-Crimson’ azalea and the dainty white flowers of summer snowflake scattered below. A little later, the tight fiddleheads of interrupted fern push through the soil.

Growing conditions for this spring garden border
This garden plan was made for the shade; all the plants listed below will do well in a part-shade environment. Grow the 'Hino-Crimson' azalea in dappled light with protection from the afternoon sun so the foliage won’t burn.
To get the best from your Chinese astilbe and interrupted fern give them regular moisture. A couple inches of mulch helps keep moisture even. They both also prefer neutral to slightly acid soil. In sandy soil add lots of organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, before planting so it’ll hold moisture well. Peat moss also lowers the pH, which is important if you’re growing in alkaline soil.
