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.
Perfecto Mundo Pink Carpet azalea gives you a new way to use azaleas in your garden. It has a dwarf, wider-than-tall habit, perfect for use as a ground cover or mass planting. Its lovely light pink flowers arrive in droves in the spring. It takes a break in early summer to grow flower buds on new growth and it blooms with gusto in late summer and keeps providing a show until fall. It makes an ideal front of the border companion to perennials and annuals.
Top reasons to grow Perfecto Mundo Pink Carpet azalea:
- Reblooming azalea provides months of blooms, not merely weeks
- Resistant to lacebug, a pest that can be problematic in certain areas
- Grows in sun or part shade

Planting a reblooming azalea like Perfecto Mundo Pink 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 larger established hedge.
Maintenance Notes:Perfecto Mundo Pink 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 Pink 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.
