About this Flowering Tropical Red Formosa Azalea Bonsai, 8 Years Old (Azalea indica)
A tropical azalea, Azalea indica 'Formosa', at 8 years old and 14 to 15 inches in height. The flowers are large and openly displayed, a brilliant red that leans toward fuchsia at close range, and they read strongly against the dark evergreen foliage behind them. This is a tree meant to be placed where the bloom can be seen rather than tucked into a corner. Between flowering periods the glossy leaves keep the outline dense and well furnished.
