(H4) Stunning deep glowing true red flowers, with contrasting stamens, flowering in late May - early June. This plant has good autumn foliage colour. Height 150-180cm in 10 years. Best in light shade.
Shortly after the Second World War, and with ornamental plants in short supply, Ted Millais raised hundreds of Knaphill type seedlings to start planting his garden at Crosswater Farm. From these seedlings he selected this deep red azalea, a good true red without the orange shading that so many other red varieties exhibit.
