Perfecto Mundo® Double Purple Azalea

Features

The Perfecto Mundo Double Purple azalea brings a deeply saturated purple to the line, along with ruffled, double flowers. Look for them to begin their colorful bloom in spring, along with other azaleas, then after a brief rest to create new growth, put out new flowers from mid/late summer until frost. This reblooming azalea extends its blooming period for months rather than mere weeks. It boasts resistance to lacebug, a pest that can cause issues in particular regions. Moreover, it thrives in both sunny and partially shaded environments. 

What is the average size of a Double Purple Azalea?

Grows to a height between 30-36 inches and has a width of 30-36 inches.

Planting

The Double Purple azalea is better suited to milder coastal areas than harsh Midwestern sites. If you wish to plant it in zone 6b, select a protected location and mulch well. Do not fertilize after mid-July in these areas. If you do wish to fertilize, do so in early spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge, and then again after the spring bloom is complete. Use a rose fertilizer.
