Azalea ‘Mrs Kint Red’, also known as Mrs Kint Red azalea, is a compact, evergreen shrub valued for its vibrant seasonal colour and neat, rounded habit. The small, glossy green leaves form a dense, tidy canopy, making Azalea ‘Mrs Kint Red’ well suited to structured plantings and low borders. In both spring and autumn, Azalea ‘Mrs Kint Red’ produces an abundance of single, bright red flowers that stand out vividly against the dark foliage. The repeat flowering habit provides two strong bursts of colour through the year, making it a reliable choice for adding seasonal interest to the garden. Azalea ‘Mrs Kint Red’ performs best in partially shaded positions with well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and benefits from protection from harsh afternoon sun. Its compact growth and consistent flowering make it ideal for borders, mass planting, containers, and adding colour to shaded garden areas.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.

Soil pH

When designing and planting your garden, it can be useful to know whether the soil is acid or alkaline, as different plants thrive in different soils. The soil pH is a number that describes how acid or alkaline your soil is. The soil pH scale will give you an idea of what soils a species will grow in.

Acidic soils have a pH below 7.0

Alkaline soils have a pH above 7.0

Neutral soils have a pH of 7.0
