The Bloom-A-Thon Red Azalea by Proven Winners ColorChoice has large red flowers for 5 months of the year! This shrub first blooms in early April, then blooms again in early July. The bush is also semi-evergreen, which means the leaves on the outer edge of the branches last all year, but the leaves in the inner part drop in the winter.
Bloom-A-Thon shrubs still perform in the hottest southern summer days, up to zone 9. The heat resistant shrubs can handle full sunlight and still produce large red flowers from spring until the first hard frost. The plants are also disease resistant and easy to care for.
Plant these in garden containers for 12 months of color. Or you can plant these in gardens or landscaping. We particularly like planting these as an flowering semi-evergreen hedge.
Bloom-A-Thon Red Azalea Care
These shrubs need at least 4 hours of sunlight a day, although the shrubs can handle full sunlight with no shade. Avoid planting these in late fall if you live in zone 7, because the plants need some time to prepare for winter.
All azalea and rhododendron benefit from a layer of mulch around the base of the plant. This helps retain moisture as well as protect the shallow roots from harsh weather conditions. We recommend a layer 2 to 3 inches thick. Do not fertilize after mid-July.
Pruning Bloom-A-Thon Red Azalea is necessary in order for the shrub to re-bloom again in early summer. After the initial flowers start to fade, a light all-over trim is all that is needed. This will encourage new growth and new blooms to form again.
Bloom-A-Thon Red Azalea Spacing
Plant these shrubs 3 - 4 feet apart, center on center. To create a low mounding flowering hedge, you can plant 30-36 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
