The striking blooms contrast beautifully against the dark, lustrous green foliage, and this variety is cold-hardy down to USDA zones 7-10.

After determining that the Autumn Moonlight is the right choice for your needs, it's time to get started. For a seamless spread, you'll want to space your plants at least 3 feet apart. If you prefer more space between them, you can plant your azaleas 4 feet or more apart. Often used as borders or low hedges, they should be planted about 3 feet apart on center. Alternatively, you can space them approximately 5 feet apart to give your plants ample room to grow.

Azalea plants thrive in slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.0 and 6.5. While pruning Encore azaleas is not essential, if you choose to do so, make sure to wait until after the blooming period has concluded, as this can help encourage denser growth and larger flowers in the next season.

The Encore Azalea Autumn Moonlight has become a staple in the gardening community due to its striking white blooms and dark green foliage. This larger evergreen azalea can reach up to 5 feet by 4 feet at full maturity, and its bright white flowers help to brighten up any garden space.

As a fast-growing rhododendron, the Encore Azalea Autumn Moonlight is a wonderful addition to any garden, providing year-round interest with its vibrant green foliage that serves as a beautiful backdrop for other flowering plants.

The Encore Azalea Autumn Moonlight is hardy in USDA Zones 7-10 and thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring 4-6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. Until the plant is established, it should be watered thoroughly twice per week, after which it only requires weekly watering.
