Details

If you love the spring bloom of traditional azaleas, you’ll love the additional summer and fall flowering of the Encore azalea series! Encore Autumn Coral in particular has a wonderful summer bloom with its coral-pink petals and darker pink freckling at the throat. Coral blooms best in sunnier spots, with slightly less abundant summer and fall flowering in shadier locations. Dark green leaves remain during the winter months, providing year-round form and structure in the garden. Its compact size, heat tolerance, and cold hardiness make it one of the best all-around choices for azalea lovers everywhere. Tend to its needs of acidic, well-drained soil, late winter/early spring fertilizing, and regular watering and you’ll be treated to a year’s worth of spectacular garden color!
