Description

Cover the ground in bright color with Perfecto Mundo Fuchsia Carpet azalea. Selected for its tidy, ground-hugging habit, it lights up with hundreds of vivid fuchsia blooms in spring, then again late summer through fall. Healthy green foliage anchors non-blooming periods with appealing texture. Absolutely stunning planted en masse! We do recommend growing Perfecto Mundo Carpet azaleas from a Quick Turn to a one or two gallon finished plant.
