Encore Azalea Autumn Fire (3 Gallon) Flowering Dwarf Evergreen Shrub - Full Sun

EVERGREEN SHRUB: The Encore Azalea Autumn Fire is a reblooming azalea that will provide months of beauty instead of weeks. Once the deep red blooms have blossomed, you will quickly understand the true appeal of the Encore craze! These evergreen shrubs make an excellent foundational growth plant and thrive well in mass plantings. This fast-growing variety can reach sizes up to 2.5' H x 3' W.

RED FLOWERING BUSH: The Encore Azalea Autumn Fire can be used as a focal point around the yard and garden, accentuating entries with its dense growth habit. In the spring, summer, and fall, the beautiful deep red blooms will attract a variety of visitors, such as butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

NO PRUNING REQUIRED: Autumn Fire requires little pruning to retain its form and does not need to be deadheaded. If you do wish to prune your azaleas, be sure to do so immediately after the spring flowering. Once well established, light pruning may facilitate growth and flowering in future seasons. Avoid fall pruning, as you will be removing buds that have begun setting for the next blooming season.

USDA ZONES: The Autumn Fire is hardy in zones 6a-10b. For best flowering, choose a location that receives 4-6 hours of full sun. In the early years, water regularly and especially during dry periods. Like all azaleas, these grow well in acidic soil with a maximum pH of 6.5, but they prefer a lower pH, around 5.5.

POTTED PLANT: This plant ships as a 3-gallon potted plant with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast. It is not guaranteed to be in bloom upon arrival. Please note that this plant is unavailable for shipping to Hawaii and Alaska.
