The Autumn Bravo Encore Azalea is more sun-tolerant than most other evergreen azaleas, and it will grow in full sun in cooler zones, and with some afternoon shade in hotter ones. It should be grown in moist, rich, well-drained soil that is acidic, measuring between 5.0 and 6.5 on the pH scale. If you don’t have suitable soil, plant it in a pot or planter box, with a drainage hole, using soil that is blended for acid-loving plants. Feed in spring and summer with azalea food. This vigorous plant is generally free of significant pests or diseases.
