I love perfecto mundo azalea series. I got pink, white, purple, orange, and blanket pink, all in one-gallon size last year and this year. They all grow very well and healthy. I live in zone 7b. Some of them I planted last Spring, and others I planted this Spring. All of them have bloomed by late June 2023. And now they are taking a break because of the heat, but I can see flower buds developing. I remember the two pinks I planted last Spring were taking a break from blooming until the heat broke out in 2022. And rebloom again in late August until frost. I truly love this series. They are as lovely as Encore Azalea but without worrying about the lace bugs. The only downside is that they are not rabbit-proof, unlike Encore Azalea. I guess they are roses hybrid, so rabbits love the leaves. I am pleased with my backyard, especially in the fall, with Perfecto mundo azalea and encore azalea, along with other plants. Continuous blooms cover my backyard in the fall. I plan to get more perfecto mundo azalea in red after making spaces for them. I saw a review complaining about no rebloom. I planted so many rebloom azaleas, so I have learned that all rebloom azaleas will take a break from the heat, but they WILL rebloom once the heat peak breaks. Expect them to rebloom again in September.

Features
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® reblooming orange azalea does. This innovative series comes from award-winning plant breeder Dr. Tom Ranney of NCSU.
Perfecto Mundo® Orange azalea is a neat, rounded pollinator friendly shrub that's covered with bright, blazing orange blooms in spring, when other azaleas bloom, but then after a brief rest, begins blooming again in mid summer and continues through frost as a long blooming azalea plant. Take a look at the range of other incredible colors in the series!

- Has a truly jaw-dropping flower density and will rebloom for months.
- Resistant to lacebug, a pest that can be problematic in certain areas.

Planting a reblooming orange azalea like Perfecto Mundo Orange means you get more flowers, however you wish to incorporate them into your landscape or garden.
Maintenance Notes:Perfecto Mundo Orange azalea blooms on old wood in spring, then later, on new wood as a long blooming azalea plant. 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 from an azalea that blooms all season.
A note on hardiness: Perfecto Mundo Orange azalea is hardy to USDA zone 5b, select a protected location and mulch well. Do not fertilize after mid-July.
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 completeas a pollinator friendly shrub. Use rose fertilizer to support strong growth and maintain an azalea that blooms all season.

Zone 7. Bought those at Raymond's in Hendersonville, NC. Planted them a little before Mother's day according to directions. Blooming for about 3 more weeks and then it was over. No more. About 4 to 5 hours sun per day. Plants look healthy. What happened to the rebloom. Explain please. No joy. Your site does not accommodate photo uploads. You would have a better chance to give a recommendation if you did.
