Autumn Embers Encore® Azalea

The Autumn Embers Encore Azalea is a unique evergreen flowering shrub that is smothered from spring to fall in stunning dusky red flowers. Unlike other azaleas which flower only in spring, the Encore Azaleas flower through summer and then put on a huge encore in fall with another burst of flowers. It is in flower for 9 months of the year, so this is the ideal plant to bring continuous color to all the parts of your garden. Just imagine this gorgeous glowing color all across your garden, blending with everything else around it, yet standing out as a bold statement too. It will grow to 3 feet in height and up to 4 feet across and will thrive everywhere from the warmer parts of zone 6 all the way into zone 9.

• Beautiful repeat-flowering evergreen azalea
• Smothered in dusky-red blooms in spring and fall
• The most sun tolerant of the azaleas, but thrives in shade too
• Rapid growing, resistant and strong
• Ideal for pots because it is constantly in bloom

Your Autumn Embers Encore Azalea should be grown in soil that is well-drained but does not dry completely and these plants grow best in acid soils. If you do not have acid soil, you can treat them in the ground, or grow them in a container, which really allows them to be seen at their best. This plant does well in full sun or partial shade and is more tolerant of heat than other azaleas. It is a perfect choice for foundation planting around your home, in flower beds, in wooded areas or in pots on your terrace.
