Description

Autumn Fire Encore Azalea is a robust, multi-season blooming shrub that extends the azalea show beyond spring. It produces a heavy flush of vibrant, true red, semi-double flowers in spring, then reliably reblooms in summer and fall. Its glossy, dark green foliage may take on bronze hues in winter. This compact, well-branched evergreen thrives in the filtered light of woodland gardens and is a standout for adding long-lasting color to shady borders, foundations, or containers.

• Three Seasons of Blooms: Flowers profusely in spring, then repeats reliably in summer and fall with vibrant red, semi-double blooms.

• Compact & Dense Habit: Maintains a neat, rounded, and densely branched form, reaching 2-3 feet tall and wide.

• Extended Garden Color: Part of the Encore series, specifically bred for reliable reblooming, significantly extending the azalea flowering season.

• Shade Loving & Acid Needing: Prefers partial to full shade and must have acidic, well-drained soil amended with organic matter.

• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal pruning; simply deadhead spent flowers to encourage the next bloom cycle.
