In a perfect world, azaleas would bloom for months instead of just weeks and have big, full flowers with pure and true colors. That's exactly what Perfecto Mundo® azaleas do.
Ground cover is very useful, but thankfully the Perfecto Mundo Carpet series is very pretty as well. The days of dreary plain green ground cover are over. With Perfecto Mundo Fuchsia Carpet™ azalea, you’ll find a dense drift of color in the spring. It then reblooms heavily in the summer, like the rest of the Perfecto Mundo series.

Planting a reblooming azalea like Perfecto Mundo Fuchsia Carpet means you get more flowers however you wish to incorporate them into your landscape or garden. Its low growing habit works perfectly at the front of the border, as edging, or as an accompanying hedge to a taller established hedge.
Maintenance Notes:Perfecto Mundo Fuchsia Carpet azalea blooms on old wood in spring, then later, on new wood. As such, it should only be pruned immediately after its spring bloom. Even if it doesn't need pruning, it's not a bad practice to 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 Fuchsia Carpet 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. Use a rose fertilizer.
