Hot Pink Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea

The Hot Pink Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea has enormous funnel-shaped flowers, with ruffled petals, in a vibrant deep pink. This evergreen bush is robust and vigorous, soon becoming a shrub that is 4 feet tall and wide. It blooms not just in spring, but again over summer, with a big display in fall, often lasting until the first frost. It is perfect for shrub beds, around your home, beneath trees and in woodland areas. It can also be grown in planters and tubs.

• Very large flowers of bright deep pink
• Spring blooms are followed by a summer and fall reblooming
• Grows and flowers well in shady areas
• Great size for beds and foundation planting
• Hardy and semi-evergreen in zone 6

The Hot Pink Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea is hardy even in zone 6, with some leaf drop in winter there. It is reliable in hotter states, and thrives in most light conditions, doing best in semi-shade, but flowering well in light full shade too – better than many other reblooming azaleas. The soil should be rich, moist, well-drained and acidic, with a pH value of 5.5 or less. Grow it in a tub or planter box if you don’t have suitable garden soil, using potting soil blended for acid-loving plants.
