Looking to replace some bushes on my property border that have died. I have azaelas across the front of our house and a couple azaelas on our side property border. I love the azaelas but it is frustrating that you only get blooms for a couple of weeks. Looking for recs for something that will bloom longer or have several cycles through the year. Thinking about the encores but open to other suggestions. I am in Savannah, Ga and where they will be planted gets full sun most of the day. Also looking for something similar I can put in containers.

Gardenias I think bloom most of the spring and summer.

We have nearly a dozen different antique / homestead rose varieties throughout our yard and they tend to all have multiple bloom cycles throughout the year. Some nearly non-stop.

I am a fan of this one. We have several from cuttings in my parent's yard. Bullet proof with non-stop blooms. cramoisi superieur

The white ducher also is bullet proof. We have to use the hedge clippers and loppers each year to keep it from taking over the side yard. Lots of blooms all year. Ducher

Double Knock out roses will bloom consistently from March till the 1st freeze in the fall.... Mine are about 6 years old and make a good hedge now and are about 7' tall. Easy maintenance also.
