Autumn Bonfire™ Encore® Azalea is a low-maintenance shrub that adds vibrant color to any landscape. This compact, fast-growing azalea is notable for its bright red blooms with darker crimson spots, which make an eye-catching statement. The true semi-double and single funnel-shaped flowers contrast beautifully with the bright green foliage, creating a stunning display from spring to winter. The evergreen Autumn Bonfire Encore Azalea is ideal for mass planting or as an accent plant because it retains its lush green color throughout the year while adding a striking red burst to flower beds and landscapes. This dwarf azalea variety thrives in growing zones 6–10, making it suitable for a variety of climates. It prefers 4-6 hours of morning and afternoon sun with occasional shade and thrives in moist, well-drained soils with a slightly acidic pH. An annual application of slow-release fertilizer in early spring promotes growth and highlights the vibrant red flowers. This drought-tolerant, repeat bloomer grows to a mature height of 2-3 ft and spread of 3-4 feet and is pest and disease-resistant, ensuring its beauty with minimal effort. The 3-gallon Autumn Bonfire Encore Azalea is simple to grow and maintain, making it an excellent choice for any garden or landscape.
