Meet Perfecto Mundo® Red – the evergreen shrub that keeps the color coming!

Resistant to pesky lace bugs, Perfecto Mundo® Red thrives with minimal care, bringing vibrant color and lasting beauty to your garden season after season. A must-have for anyone seeking vibrant, hassle-free blooms!

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food just as the new growth begins to emerge, and then again after the spring bloom is complete. Give the plant a light trim after its spring bloom, which encourages new growth - the more new growth it puts on after that spring bloom, the more rebloom you'll get.
A note on hardiness: Perfecto Mundo® Red azalea is hardy to USDA zone 6b, and is better suited to milder coastal areas of zone 6b than harsh Midwestern sites. If you wish to plant it in zone 6b, select a protected location and mulch well. Do not fertilize after mid-July in these areas. If you do wish to fertilize, do so in early spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge, and then again after the spring bloom is complete.
