Description

The size and quantity of flowers are an ode to the classic appeal of azaleas: rich bubble gum to hot pink single blooms drench the plant with color in spring and again in fall. Like its sister Perfecto Mundo Epic Coral azalea, you'll enjoy huge blooms that look fabulous in the container and in the landscape.
