Description

One of our all-time favorite evergreen azaleas, ‘Flame Creeper’ is a low growing, spreading form that produces LOADS of flaming, coral-pink flowers with peachy orange overtones and red freckles from mid-spring through late spring. Upon closer viewing the flowers appear more corl but from a distance they appear more peachy orange!

The trailing branches of Flame Creeper Azalea form dense mounds to about 2 feet high and 3 to 4 feet or more wide over time. The lustrous, deep green leaves remain year round making this azalea an excellent choice as a massed groundcover or low border to line walkways, paths and patios.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a low, spreading mound to 24 inches tall and 3 to 4 feet wide or more, ‘Flame Creeper’ Azalea is ideal for use in groupings or massed as a groundcover or low border in partially shaded landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Its trailing stems can also be trained to climb up a trellis or wall. Very nice when cascading over a wall or the edges of containers when growing in a pot. Plant it in small groupings to mass plantings or as a border along paths and walkways in larger landscape and woodland borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Asian-theme gardens, Azalea gardens, cottage gardens, and partially shaded woodland gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2 to 3 feet apart for mass plantings; 6 feet or more for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

The Flame Creeper Azalea is very easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. As with other azaleas, it prefers an acidic, moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Though it will grow in full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun is ideal. Has moderate drought tolerance when established.
