Count on the glamorous Perfecto Mundo line, which was developed at North Carolina State University and selected by Proven Winners® only after rigorous and extensive field trials had been successfully completed for high performance.

Planting and Application:

A densely branched and slightly spreading growth habit makes Double White Azalea a very versatile flowering broad-leaved evergreen shrub for many garden applications. These vigorous, healthy and disease resistant Azaleas aren't bothered by common pests like lacebug

• Light up your partial shade mixed garden borders in dappled shade. Compact, tidy with very dark green foliage, Double White adds a sophisticated mid-layer to your design.
• They provide steady, reliable color and welcome structure any time of year. And who can forget the effervescent visual appeal of the frothy white blooms during the growing season?
• Plant them three feet apart on center for a low, solid hedge. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.
• Run a Perfecto Mundo Double White Azalea hedge in front of your evergreen Yews or Hollies for an easy-care dash of panache. They can elevate the tone of partial shade-tolerant, pollinator-friendly natives like Dogwood, Serviceberry and Witch Hazel, too.
• Of course, you can also keep Double White Azaleas in outdoor garden containers for many years with proper care. Imagine how chic a series of matched pots would look spread equidistantly along your north or east-facing terrace.

#ProPlantTips for Care: 

Select your planting site carefully, as Azaleas do best in well-drained soil with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot USDA Zones 9 - 10, give them afternoon shade, or mulch well in sunnier spots.

• They need slightly acidic soil with a lower pH to perform at their best; apply a three inch layer of pine straw over the roots to keep them cool and moist. It's best not to plant Azaleas too deeply...keep the soil at the same level they grew in at the nursery, or mound up to improve drainage.
• Protect your investment with a moderate amount of supplemental water given on a regular basis. Keep the surrounding area free of weeds, as their shallow roots resent having nearby competition.
• Prune to shape right after the first flush of blooms is finished in spring. Apply a quality ericaceous flowering plant fertilizer according to the label instructions.
