Bloom-a-Thon Pink Double Reblooming Azalea

Rhododendron x 'RLH1-2P8' produces clusters of fully double, ruffled flowers in clear pink tones, blooming in spring and returning with additional flushes from summer into fall. Small, elliptical leaves are deep green and evergreen, forming a dense canopy. The flowers are held prominently above the foliage, with layers of petals creating a soft, rose-like appearance, while reddish-pink buds extend the ornamental display.

Originating through modern hybrid breeding, this cultivar reflects selection focused on repeat flowering and compact garden performance.

Design tip

Make ‘Bloom-a-Thon Pink Double’ part of a long-season planting rather than relying on it solely for spring color. Its repeat flowering can bridge quieter periods between other seasonal displays, helping the same garden area remain engaging from spring into fall.
