Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire (3 Gallon) Red Flowering Shrub - Full Sun Live Outdoor Plant

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

Compared to the similarly named Autumn Fire, Bonfire is a larger variety, with a mature dimension of 3' high by 3' wide. The flowers of this azalea are a true deep red, and they have the ability to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, making it a delightful sight in the garden.

For those looking to create a low-growing hedge along walkways or foundations, Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire can be used in large quantities. Alternatively, a single plant can serve as a colorful accent in a mixed garden bed or container on a patio.

Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire is a low-maintenance plant that makes a bold statement once established. While not necessary, you can prune this evergreen shrub after the spring bloom to promote future growth.

This azalea is hardy in USDA Zones 6a-10b and thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring 4-6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. To ensure proper establishment, thoroughly water the plant twice per week until it is well-rooted, then reduce watering to once per week.

Shipped as a 3 gallon potted plant with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast, this Encore Azalea Autumn Bonfire is not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival. Please note that this plant is unavailable for shipment to Hawaii and Alaska.
