Bought my first Azaleas described as "repeat blooming".

Any experience out there?

TIA

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.

Depends on the variety. I have some southern indica azaleas and most of
them bloom multiple times each year. Here are some from Monrovia:

One of mine is Southern Charm and it only blooms once, so I guess you
just have to look at the details for each one.

Thanks to all. I will be watching with interest to see if they perform.
