Autumn Princess Encore Azalea (1 Gallon) Pink Flowering Shrub

The Autumn Princess, an Encore Azalea, boasts a magnificent display of beautiful salmon-pink semi-double blooms that grace the landscape in spring, summer, and fall. Its gorgeous blooms contrast beautifully against the dark, lustrous green foliage. During the winter months, the foliage transforms into a stunning burgundy hue. Encore Azaleas, including the Autumn Princess, are renowned for their ability to tolerate full sun better than traditional azaleas, making it essential to plant them in a location that will receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight, with some shade during the afternoon heat. This cold-hardy variety, suitable for USDA zone 6b and beyond, thrives in slightly acidic, well-drained garden soil, making it an excellent choice for planting in the landscape or in container gardens.

The Autumn Princess is an evergreen shrub that provides a vibrant presence throughout the year, with its salmon-pink flowers and deep green foliage, which deepens in hue to burgundy during cooler months. This azalea is known for its ability to rebloom in spring, summer, and fall, ensuring a long-lasting display of color.

Autumn Princess is a versatile plant that can be utilized in various landscaping applications. It makes an excellent hedge shrub or specimen plant in woodland borders, and its mass plantings or foundation plantings can create a stunning visual impact. Additionally, Autumn Princess can be used in containers around entryways, captivating the attention of family, friends, and even butterflies.

Once established, the Autumn Princess requires minimal maintenance. Although not necessary, pruning the azalea after the spring bloom can promote future growth. This hardy plant thrives in USDA Zones 6B-10B, thriving in full sun to partial shade and requiring 4-6 hours of sunlight for optimal growth and flowering. During the initial establishment phase, the plant should be watered thoroughly twice per week, then reduced to once per week thereafter.

Autumn Princess is available as a 1-gallon potted plant, shipped with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast. It is important to note that the plant may not be in bloom upon arrival, as this is not guaranteed. Unfortunately, this plant is not available for shipping to Hawaii and Alaska.
