The Autumn Royalty Encore™ Azalea will fill your garden with beautiful rich purple blooms from spring to fall, unlike traditional azaleas, that only bloom in spring. This amazing bush will grow to be 4 feet tall and the same across, making a perfect backdrop to other smaller shrubs and flowers in your garden. As soon as the blooms of spring fade, new shoots will grow, carrying more flowers, and this will continue throughout summer and fall, right up to the arrival of cold weather. It grows well from the cool winters of zone 6 into the hot, humid summers of zone 9, and thrives in more sun than other azaleas can take. Plant around your home, on the north or east sides, or among shrubs in the partial shade of deciduous trees. This ever-flowering shrub is evergreen too, so even in winter it still has an attractive form and rich green coloring.
Plant your Autumn Royalty Encore Azalea in soil that is slightly acidic. If your neighbors are growing azaleas, you can too. Even if your soil is not acidic, you can use special products called chelated iron to grow them in ordinary soil. You do not need to prune or trim your bush to have lovely dense growth and a rounded form, and this plant is free or any serious pests or diseases. It has been selected to be strong, hardy and easy to grow, so everyone can enjoy delicious purple blooms in their gardens for months on end with this beautiful and easy-to-grow plant.
