About the product:
Mardi Gras is a deciduous azalea cultivar within the Rhododendron genus, known for its red and white bicolor blooms that appear in spring. This ornamental shrub is commonly used in landscape plantings, borders, and woodland-style gardens. It prefers partial sun, well-draining acidic soil, and consistent moisture. As a deciduous azalea, it sheds its leaves seasonally and regrows foliage each year.
