Lavender Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea

The Lavender Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea is smothered in star-shaped 3-inch blooms that are a delicious purple-pink, with darker red throat markings. This rounded bush blooms in April, and then starts again in July, continuing all the way to the first hard frost. You will love its neat evergreen foliage and compact form, making a rounded bush 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. It is perfect for garden beds, along a path or drive, beneath trees and in open wooded areas.

• Star-shaped blooms in rich lavender pink
• Blooms from April to October
• A top-rated rebloomer for shadier beds
• Good cold-resistance and winter foliage
• Grows well in planters and tubs

The Lavender Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea is even hardy in sheltered parts of zone 6, and it thrives in all warmer zones, handling summer heat well. It thrives in morning sun and afternoon shade, and it is the most shade-tolerant of the reblooming azaleas. Moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic material is ideal, and it should have a pH of 5.5 or less. If you don’t have suitable soil it makes a wonderful container plant.
