Description

Perfecto Mundo Double White azalea combines the classic appeal of white azaleas with innovative, modern-day performance that will outshine everything else in the landscape. Like the rest of the Perfecto Mundo series, it was selected not just for outstanding rebloom but also for superior spring performance, providing months of color and beauty in sunny to partly sunny locations. Doubled white flower clusters nestle amid deep green foliage, a compact, dense habit ensures the versatility homeowners and landscapers look for in azaleas.

The Perfecto Mundo series was developed by Dr. Tom Ranney and his team at NCSU.
