Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Perfecto Mundo® Orange azalea is a neat, rounded shrub that's covered with bright, blazing orange blooms in spring, when other azaleas bloom, but then after a brief rest, begins blooming again in mid summer and continues through frost. Perfecto Mundo® Orange azalea is resistant to lacebug, a pest that can be problematic in certain areas. This series grows in sun or part shade. The Perfecto Mundo® series of reblooming azaleas are the work of Dr. Tom Ranney and his team at NCSU.
