Description

More of what everyone loves about azaleas: big, bright, double blooms that are as abundant and vivid in spring as they are in autumn. Perfecto Mundo Double Dark Pink azalea has proven to be one of the longest blooming azaleas in our trials, making this plant easy to ship and sell in bloom for more of the year. Dark green foliage and a dense, rounded habit ensure classic appeal and modern-day performance.

The Perfecto Mundo series of reblooming azaleas are the work of Dr. Tom Ranney and his team at NCSU.
