What is this shrub #921681

Asked November 08, 2025, 7:22 PM EST

We moved to a new home and there are three of these shrubs but we don't know what they are. Some of the leaves are still green but others have turned a bright red. Some also have buds in the middle of the leaves. Thank you

Thank you for reaching out. This is an azalea. I'm not sure what color flowers it's gonna get but it blooms in the spring. So do not cut it back now. You cut it back right after it blooms if you want to. If you cut it back now, it won't bloom in the spring, but she won't kill the plant.
