The 'Christmas Cheer'  is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub celebrated for its masses of early spring blooms.
The Azalea 'Christmas Cheer' is a popular Kurume hybrid prized in bonsai for its compact habit, evergreen foliage, and vivid display of deep red, funnel-shaped flowers. Because it back-buds aggressively and tolerates heavy pruning, it is an excellent and highly rewarding specimen.
