Plant description
The first flush of flowers appear in abundance in late spring and early summer, but after a short hiatus, new buds start to form and these open from midsummer to early autumn. Offering a much longer season of interest than many other forms, this new repeat-flowering azalea is ideal for the patio or border.

How to care for Rhododendron Pure White Julia ('Homlea') (PBR) (Encore Azalea Series):
Avoid planting too deeply. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould around the base of the plant each spring.
Please note:
This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
