Autumn Sunburst Encore® Azalea

The Autumn Sunburst™ Encore® Azalea is a fantastic and unique bi-color evergreen azalea, with delicious coral-pink flowers, edged in white. These smother the plant from spring to fall, with blooms always on the plant from late March to the first frost. The compact shrub is just 3 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for the smallest garden, edging beds or paths, or for growing in pots and planter boxes. Plant in larger planters and surround it with bulbs and annual flowers for fabulous color on your terrace or patio for 6 months of the year. Even in winter the deep-green foliage makes it a great background plant. In pots it can be overwintered inside, and grown in any part of the country at all.

• Produced on a compact 3-foot plant
• In continuous bloom from March to November
• The top choice for pots and planters

Grow the Autumn Sunburst™ Encore® Azalea in zone 6, because it is one of the hardiest of the Encore Azalea family. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot, and give more shade in hotter zones. Grow in moist, well-drained soil, in an acidic soil environment, with a pH no more than 6.5. If your garden soil is more alkaline than this, the compact size of this shrub makes it perfect for growing in a pot, in soil for acid-loving plants, so that you can enjoy it whatever your soil is like.
