Autumn Sangria® Encore® Azalea

Autumn Sangria® Encore® Azalea is a striking evergreen shrub known for oversized, vibrant pink blooms and year round landscape appeal. This Rhododendron hybrid produces some of the largest flowers in the Encore series, creating bold color from spring through fall in repeating bloom cycles. Glossy green foliage provides structure even when not in flower, and its naturally dense, rounded habit keeps a polished look with minimal pruning. Hardy in USDA Zones 6a through 10b, it reaches about 4.5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, making it ideal for foundations, borders, and focal plantings. It thrives in light shade to full sun, with 4 to 6 hours of sunlight encouraging maximum flowering. Plant in acidic, well drained soil and keep moisture consistent while establishing. Once mature, it shows good drought tolerance, though deep watering during dry spells improves bloom performance. Fertilize after spring flowering and prune only after the first bloom cycle to protect new buds. Its compact form, reliable reblooming habit, and vivid color pair beautifully with brick, stone, and modern exteriors, delivering dependable curb appeal in any garden.
