Description
Azalea Encore® Autumn Bonfire® dazzles with clusters of true red, semi-double blooms that first appear in mid-spring and rebloom lightly in fall. Its vibrant flowers stand out against the glossy green foliage, making it a striking choice for foundation plantings or garden borders. This evergreen shrub has an upright growth habit, allowing it to provide year-round interest in any landscape.
New foliage emerges chartreuse in spring before maturing to a deep, rich green that remains throughout winter. It thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and benefits from organic mulch to retain moisture. Whether planted in groups or as a single specimen, Encore® Autumn Bonfire® Azalea brings bold color and extended seasonal blooms to any garden.
