In a perfect world, azaleas would bloom for months instead of just weeks and have big, full flowers with pure and true colors. That's exactly what Perfecto Mundo® azaleas do. This innovative series comes from award-winning plant breeder Dr. Tom Ranney of NCSU.
Perfecto Mundo® Double Dark Pink azalea is a dense, rounded shrub that's covered with double dark pink blooms in spring, when other azaleas bloom, but then after a brief rest, begins blooming again in mid summer and continues through frost.

Planting a reblooming azalea like Perfecto Mundo Double Dark Pink means you get more flowers, however you wish to incorporate them into your landscape or garden.
Maintenance Notes:Perfecto Mundo Double Dark Pink azalea blooms on old wood in spring, then later, on new wood. As such, it should only be pruned immediately after its spring bloom. Even if it doesn't need pruning, it's not a bad practice to give the plant a light trim after its spring bloom, which encourages new growth - the more new growth it puts on after that spring bloom, the more rebloom you'll get.
A note on hardiness: Perfecto Mundo Double Dark Pink azalea is hardy to USDA zone 6b, and is better suited to milder coastal areas of zone 6b 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.
