All the classic, colorful beauty of an azalea, but with modern day reblooming that brings you more of what you love – flowers! Bloom-A-Thon® Lavender reblooming azalea is a neat mound of purple, trumpet-like blooms, each sweetly freckled with pink. It blooms in spring when other azaleas do, then comes back in mid-summer for a repeat performance. Why settle for an azalea that only blooms once?!

It’s also very nice mixed with perennials and other flowering plants. However you plant it, you’ll enjoy this shade tolerant classic and the color it brings to your home.

PLANTING GUIDE
Soil: Bloom-A-Thon azaleas require the same conditions as other azaleas: cool, moist, acidic soil. Good drainage is essential.
Light: Full sun (6+ hrs/day) to part shade (4-6 hours/day). The hotter the climate, the more beneficial shade becomes.
Water: Moderate moisture; Looks and blooms best when it does not experience any kind of drought stress
Space: 4-5' apart
Fertilizing: Apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring and again after the first bloom for best rebloom.
Winterizing: A 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch is recommended. If you wish to attempt growing it in colder areas, plant only in protected spots.
Maintenance: For best rebloom, give the whole plant a light trim after its initial flowering in spring. This encourages new growth. Do not prune before bloom or you will remove the flower buds.
