Bought my first Azaleas described as "repeat blooming".

Any experience out there?

To clarify: Most Azaleas are supposed to bloom only once a year. So I wondered if anyone had planted these "repeat bloomers" or have any info about them.

My 'Pride of Dorking' bloomed in the spring as usual. It also bloomed
again in July. My 'George Taber' bloomed at the end of winter and then
again in the middle of spring. I think my 'Alaska' and 'Formosa' also
have had two bloom periods in some years. I think this is more a result
of quirky weather than anything else. Note that all four of these
azaleas are evergreen.

Encore and Bloom-a-Thon are specifically bred to re-bloom.
