How to Grow
Light: Filtered to partial sun -- Part sun to dappled shade is ideal, and the hotter your climate, the more shade becomes necessary.
Water: Azaleas are shallow-rooted, and will need regular watering in times of extreme heat. Adding a 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch beneath them will help keep the soil moist and cool. Do not use rock mulches around azaleas.
Spacing: 3 - 4'
Fertilizing: Reblooming azaleas benefit from fertilizing after their spring bloom. You may use a rose fertilizer or a rhododendron/azalea fertilizer. Never fertilize reblooming azaleas after late July.
Winterizing: Planting in a protected area from harsh winter winds will help prevent winter damage. Plants should be mulched for winter.
Maintenance & Pruning: Plants may be pruned or lightly trimmed after their spring bloom to encourage new growth and a better rebloom.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I was so excited about these, and they arrived beautifully. I planted them in a partial sun/partial shade spot (gets morning sun) with Espoma azalea fertilizer mixed in with compost and the native soil according to the packaging. Two weeks later (and with consistent watering) half of them (I ordered 6 plants) have lost more than half of their leaves and the remaining leaves are brown. The other three look fine and they’ve all had the same treatment so I’m absolutely puzzled. Pictures are of one of the dying plants and one of the healthy ones.
Hi Rachel. I'm so sorry to hear your plants aren't doing so well! I'm Miranda, a horticulturist for Great Garden Plants. Browning azalea leaves are a sign of overwatering and poor drainage, probably stemming from the addition of compost to the holes. We generally don't recommend amending the soil at the time of planting, because if it is not thoroughly incorporated, then the creates something we call a 'bathtub effect' You can read about it here: https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/how-plant/should-you-amend-your-soil-when-you-plant

Plants came in good condition and healthy
Plants in good condition
All plants arrived happy and healthy. They are doing well in the front of our house. New leaves already. Very happy with Great Garden Plants.
My Perfecto Mundo are doing great and thriving. Having to wait to put in the ground until I can get a burn permit and get rid of some debris that has stacked up in the backyard during our no burn. One of them already has a bud on it. Can't wait to see them blooming.
Healthy, thriving plants
Well packaged and delivered at the requested time.
Very nice plants
Both arrived a little dry from their journey well packed and look healthy planted and looking forward to next year when they bloom
I realize I was warned that the plants would be small, but I didn't realize how small.
We're sorry you are not satisfied with your plants! We do note that all of our plants are young on each product page and on our plant sizes page https://www.greatgardenplants.com/pages/sizes.The size and maturity of the plants varies widely depending on the time of the year you purchased and if they were recently trimmed. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our greenhouses. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden. We do keep our plants trimmed to encourage strong root development!
The azaleas arrived so healthy and fresh. They look wonder in my garden and they are thriving. I can not wait for them to bloom next year!!!
I bought the white ones in early fall because I had great luck with the red ones in the spring. While the white ones have not bloomed yet, I expect they will because the red ones did multiple times.
Hello! When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed, they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, in the second year, they have more energy to put into growth; and in the third year, they grow and flower vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center and plants you purchase online. We hope this helps. Happy Gardening!
I now have a very happy plant thriving in my garden! Thank you! Barbara Duffy
the plants have been in the ground several weeks. What do you want to hear in this short period of time?
It arrived in perfect condition and in spite of benign neglect seems to be thriving.
i ordered 8 plants ( mix of white and purple )two of them werent too strong on arrival and on the weak side . Its been over a month and its June 22. I live in North GA zone 7b. nothing much in change in size. with all the rain we've been getting . Whole week of rain all day then a few days break and then daily rain all day for 5 days. Used liquid feed.. No sign of any blooms, so im glad i picked up some hydrangeas at my local garden center so i can see some blooms
Is this plant fragrant and can it be planted at Tahoe. Looking for 6 to 8 foot plant
While azaleas aren't known for their fragrance, the Perfecto Mundo® series does have double blooms that last for over five months. We ship young plants in one quart or one gallon containers. As long as you reside within the recommended growing range for azalea, you should be good to grow! If you don't know your zone, click this link:

Is the white perfecto Mundo azalea deer resistant?
Hi there! Azaleas in general are not known to be particularly deer resistant; deer may browse on them if other food sources are scarce. If deer browsing is a concern in your area, you might want to consider implementing some deer deterrent strategies.
I am in zone 6, is it okay to plant azaleas and hydrangeas in late summer or early fall?
Hi! Fall is a great time for planting in both cool and warm climates. In cool zones, get to the task at least six weeks before the ground freezes. Note that this isn’t when the first frost happens, but when the soil becomes unworkable and roots won’t be able to take up water and nutrients. In warm to hot areas, fall planting is recommended because it provides the longest possible time until the most stressful weather conditions – summer heat – return.
Are these deer resistant azaleas?
Azaleas are not typically known for being very deer-resistant as deer may browse on them, especially if other food sources are scarce. You may want to try using a deer repellant spray.
