Autumn Royalty Encore Azalea (2 Gallon) - Purple Flowering Shrub

Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty (2 Gallon): The Reblooming Purple Flowering Shrub for Your Outdoor Delight

As the "Azalea of the Year," the Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty is a remarkable evergreen shrub that will captivate you with its months-long display of beauty, rather than just the typical weeks. Boasting large, deep-pink flowers, this fast-growing plant can reach impressive dimensions of 4.5' W x 4' H, making it an excellent choice for foundational plantings or as a focal point in your yard and garden.

One of the standout features of the Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty is its reblooming capability. Unlike traditional azaleas, this shrub will continue to produce its stunning blooms throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons, attracting a host of pollinators such as butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. This makes it a delightful addition to any landscape, as it will provide months of visual interest and attract a variety of wildlife.

Maintenance-wise, the Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty is a relatively low-maintenance plant. It requires minimal pruning to retain its shapely form, and there's no need for deadheading. If you do choose to prune, it's best to do so immediately after the spring flowering to avoid removing buds that have already begun setting for the next blooming season. Avoiding fall pruning is also recommended, as this could interfere with the plant's natural bud development.

The Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty is a hardy plant that thrives in USDA Zones 6-10. While it can tolerate full sun, it prefers partial shade for optimal blooming. In its early years, it's important to water the plant regularly, especially during dry periods. This azalea is also well-suited to acidic soil, with a preferred pH range of around 5.5, though it can tolerate a maximum of 6.5.

When you purchase the Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty, it will arrive as a 1-gallon potted plant, with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast. Please note that this plant is not guaranteed to be in bloom upon arrival. Unfortunately, the Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty is not available for shipping to Hawaii or Alaska.

In conclusion, the Encore Azalea Autumn Royalty is a remarkable addition to any outdoor space, offering months of vibrant color, low-maintenance care, and the ability to attract a variety of pollinators. Whether you're looking to create a stunning foundation planting or a focal point in your garden, this reblooming evergreen shrub is sure to delight.
