The Red Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea brings brilliant red to your garden, with its large, often semi-double blooms in the richest shade of purple-red imaginable. Set against the dark green leaves, these blooms begin in April, and then start to rebloom in July, continuing all through October up to hard frost. Able to grow well in shade, this evergreen bush grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, and looks perfect in your beds, along a path or drive, or under trees. Keep spring going all summer, with one of the best reblooming azaleas available.
Keeping most of its leaves even in zone 6, the Red Bloom-A-Thon® Azalea also does well in heat and humidity. It grows in partial shade, with some morning direct sun, or in light full shade – better than other rebloomers do. The soil should be moist, rich, well-drained and acidic, with a pH value of 5.5 or less. If you don’t have suitable soil, don’t worry – it makes the perfect plant for pots and planter boxes, thriving for years in containers. Pests and diseases don’t bother it. An annual light trim and regular watering is all it takes to prove your green thumb with this great bush.
