Rhododendron 'Stewartstonian'

Choose Stewartstonian Azalea if you want a compact evergreen azalea with red spring color near a foundation or walk. The tradeoff: it needs acidic, evenly moist soil and is not the best pick where deer feed heavily.

Buy This If

You want red spring bloom.
Your soil is acidic.
You can water during dry spells.

Skip This If

Deer browse unprotected shrubs.
Soil stays soggy.
You need privacy screening.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	The red spring flowers and bronzed winter foliage give it more presence than many evergreen azaleas.
Growth Rate	B	It fills in steadily, but it will not cover an open area quickly.
Maintenance	B	Plan on mulch, even moisture, acidic soil care, and any pruning right after bloom.
Deer Resistance	C-	Azaleas can be browsed when deer are active, especially in winter.
Small Space Fit	B	Its compact habit works near foundations, but it still needs room to spread.
Screening Value	C	It gives low structure, not the height or density needed for privacy.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Stewartstonian Azalea where the customer can give it acidic soil, mulch, and some protection from harsh winter exposure.

Customers Usually Ask

Is it evergreen?

Yes, it holds foliage, with leaves often turning bronze in winter.

When should I prune it?

Prune right after flowering so you do not remove next spring's buds.

Will deer bother it?

They may, so use repellent or fencing where deer regularly feed.

Why Rhododendrons & Azaleas Work

Strong Spring Color Large, vibrant blooms create high visual impact early in the season.

I had a great experience with Pro Growers of New England. When I was looking to purchase a couple of trees for my yard, I came across them while searching for places nearby. Buying plants online can be a little intimidating because there are so many variables, but they were only about 10 minutes away, so I decided to stop by.

All of the plants were really well cared for, they had a great irrigation setup to keep everything watered, and the selection was enormous. I ended up placing an order online, and they picked out a couple of beautiful trees for me. I had a last-minute change in the tree I wanted, and when I called they were very accommodating.

The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. They helped me find everything I needed, answered my questions, and made the entire experience easy. I also had one tricky planting location with a big rock and a tough invasive vine, but they made it work and planted everything perfectly.

I wasn’t sure at first if I should have the trees professionally installed, but I’m so glad I did. They did an excellent job, and the whole experience was easy from start to finish. Thanks so much for the beautiful plants and the great service!

The guys showed up on time, did a nice install and cleaned up after themselves.

Nice looking trees and the guys did a great job installing them in some challenging areas.
