The Encore Azaleas are what you want when spring-only blooms are not enough! This azalea series features the dependable springtime bloom extravaganza with repeat bloom in the summer and fall. And if your garden is more sunny than shady, Encore Azaleas are ideal for you, too. While they will bloom more abundantly in the fuller sun, if you have part sun or part shade conditions, you can expect the greatest bloom in the spring with more sporadic summer and fall flowering. Encore Autumn Empress shines with the perfect shade of pink in a semi-double bloom along with dark green leaves that turn a lovely bronze shade as the weather cools. Its compact size, heat tolerance, and cold hardiness make it one of the best all-round 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!
