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.
Put in ground watered it ever day , but it didn't live !!

Just received my plants, looking forward to them! We'll packaged and healthy, already new growth on them. I do wish the description said low deer resistance, as deer are a problem we are working to resolved. The plant card says it, so I feel this description should have. Some people want nothing to do with anything other than high resistance and deterrence. Otherwise happy, and hope these work out how I am picturing!
Hi Emily, we're happy that your new pants arrived safely! Thank you for bringing up the deer resistant nature of these Azaleas. I'll pass the request along to our horticulture experts to see if they can make the adjustment on our plant description. Happy Gardening!
I spent a lot of money on these plants and they are not nearly as big as you think you will be getting for the money you spend. I would not have bought any of the plants from a nursery in person for the price!
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2027, so we have you covered. Please reach out to [email protected] to start the claims process if necessary.
Very healthy looking plants. Arrived when expected
You replaced the one plant & it is doing great. It was done quickly & your people were extremely nice to work with. Will certainly order from you again
Unfortunately my azalea did not take. I don't know why. But my other two plants a thriving. Two out of three ain't bad. Maybe azalea are a little fragile.

Small but growing

Came packaged to assure delivery in excellent condition. Would have loved to see the bloom colors, but I think the early season was missed…maybe will catch the “rebloom” later this summer. Happy with the product so far!
Wanted orange but was pink. Listed as orange but flowers definitely are not orange. Three out of three same.
We're sorry you're disappointed in the flower color! We've seen this azalea bloom in person and it does typically look bright orange. There are a couple things that can impact your color: flower age and the temperature at which the buds were set. We hope your plants brighten up as they adjust to your landscape and put on a colorful display in late spring/early summer next year! Our team of horticulture experts are always here to help, just contact [email protected] with your order number and photos of the plant, where we can further assisst you. Happy gardening!
Eh. Not what I expected!

Looks good
All came beautifully wrapped, were healthy green bushes and have been in the ground now for 3 weeks. Looking good. Can’t wait for them to grow up into adults and flower
The plants arrived in great condition. They have been in my garden in pots and so far they are still looking beautiful.
Healthy
Loved great garden plants in the past. Ordered in June, looked good coming in and while waiting in the garage for planting on the next weekend. Two days after planting, all leaves started falling off and now just three dark brown stalks remain. Fault was probably my own by choosing a bad planting time and unluckiness. It came in looking great and healthy though.
Hello! Summer can definitely be a tricky time to plant, especially if you're gardening in warmer zones. Please email pictures of the plant to [email protected], making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Rest assured, we do have a 60-day guarantee on all of our plants. If you received your plants within that timeframe, we will be happy to apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!
Received the plants and was very disappointed. Pictures deceiving. Show nice color, much more mature. These plants won't flower this year, probably not even next year. So small someone actually stepped on one not seeing it. Shipping high to go 20 miles. Mistake. Will never again order outdoor plants online.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback. As mentioned on our website, we ship young plants with well established root systems. It's hard to say for certain how quickly your new plant will grow since so many factors - like weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing - all come into play. Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. If you have any concerns, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we can further assist. Happy Gardening!
Everything went fine
Ready for my next order
What is the size of the plant that I would receive in the 1 gallon pot?
Plant size varies widely depending on the variety that you purchase and the time of year. 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 growing. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden.
are they deer resistant? Perfecto Mundo Orange azalea
Hi there! Deer will feed on azalea bushes, particularly early in the season when there is tender new growth. You can protect your shrubs from deer damage with repellant or other deterrents. Make sure to water and fertilize damaged plants to help them recover.
When is the best time to plant reblooming azaleas?
Hi! Fall and spring are both great times to plant! If you are within six weeks of getting the first hard frost of fall in your area (when the ground freezes and becomes unworkable), then it's a good idea to wait until spring to plant, once the threat of frost has passed. Check out our blog for more guidance on fall planting: https://blog.greatgardenplants.com/our-guide-for-fall-planting/
Will you be selling yellow blooming azaleas this year?
Hi! We don't currently have a yellow reblooming azalea. You can find the azalea we do offer here:

Is this azalea evergreen or deciduous? Hard to believe your description did not specify.
Yes, it is evergreen, like the other Perfecto Mundo azaleas in the series.
