Azalea Perfecto Mundo Dbl Pink 3g

Azalea Perfecto Mundo® Double Pink 

Description:
Azalea Perfecto Mundo® Double Pink (Rhododendron x 'NCRX3') is a standout, reblooming evergreen shrub that delivers months of color and effortless elegance to your landscape. This compact azalea is covered in showy, double pink blooms in spring, takes a brief rest, and then bursts into a second (and sometimes third) round of vibrant flowers from mid-summer through fall-right up until frost. Its lush, deep green foliage provides a beautiful year-round backdrop, and the plant’s improved resistance to lace bugs ensures healthy, vibrant growth with minimal effort.

Perfecto Mundo® Double Pink matures at 2–3 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for borders, low hedges, foundation plantings, containers, or as a colorful accent in small gardens. This Proven Winners® variety thrives in full sun to part shade and is hardy in USDA zones 6b–9, with best performance in milder climates or protected sites in colder areas.
