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.

A very nice hardy looking plant in excellent condition. Quick shipping. It is starting to bloom even though only in the ground a couple weeks. The weather has been colder here so looking forward to seeing more blooms!———————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

These azaleas are very different looking from a regular azalea. I bought three. The leaves are tiny and I like that. They are already planted in my patio. The ground had a lot of mulch so the soil wasn’t frozen underneath so I was able to plant them. I don’t know yet the color of the flowers, I can only guess from the picture on line. I can’t wait to see what they grow into. I got the one gallon pots. Was happy that you put all the stuff in one big box. Everything arrived in great shape, nothing shifted during shipping. Good packing job. They came in the same box with the tree I ordered. You have such unique plants, trees and shrubs. No one else has the things you have. This is great. I am a plant collector. My yard looks like a nursery. I will be getting more plants, etc. from you in the future.———————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

I just wish to praise the quality of the Azalea’s I have purchased from you. The plants are excellent and the shipping is magnificent. Thank you for such great plants and service. I could not be more pleased.——————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This review probably should be written a couple of years from now so that I can see if my creeping azalea really creeps. However, I like the concept of a low spreading azalea. My design idea is to plant it in front of some large 30+ year old azaleas who have become woody & bare toward the bottom thru die-back & age. I hope the azalea will creep into & fill the bare spaces to present a full colorful effect to contrast the green grass space in front of the azalea mass. Plant arrived healthy & on time. Doubt you can find this plant in your local nursery. Could this be a sleep, creep & leap thing?—————————————They do creep…. 🙂 We are glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Perfect ! They were small but bloomed this spring after only been planted couple months.———————————-We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
