Autumn Bonfire Red Azalea Shrub

Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire is a fast-growing dwarf azalea that boasts beautiful red single and semi-double blooms throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons. This low-maintenance plant is a great addition to any garden, as it holds onto its bright green foliage year-round.

With its mature dimensions of 3' high by 3' wide, Bonfire is larger than the similarly named Autumn Fire. This Encore Azalea is a true showstopper, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds with its deep, vibrant red flowers. Gardeners can use this shrub to create a low-growing hedge along walkways or foundations, or as a colorful accent in a mixed garden bed or containers on patios.

Although not necessary, pruning the evergreen Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire after the spring bloom can promote future growth. This plant is hardy in USDA Zones 6a-10b and requires full sun to partial shade, with 4-6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. It should be watered thoroughly twice per week until established, then once per week thereafter.

Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire is shipped as a 1-gallon potted plant with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast. It is not guaranteed to be in bloom upon arrival, and the plant is unavailable for shipping to Hawaii and Alaska.

In summary, Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire is a fast-growing, low-maintenance azalea that provides year-round color and interest in the garden. Its striking red blooms and vibrant green foliage make it a must-have for any gardener looking to attract butterflies and hummingbirds while creating a beautiful, low-growing hedge or accent plant.
