Autumn Twist® Encore® Azalea

Autumn Twist® Encore® Azalea is a re-blooming evergreen shrub that delivers elegant color from spring through fall. Its pale purple flowers with raspberry centers create a striking two tone display against glossy green foliage. Part of the Encore collection, this compact azalea provides dependable repeat blooms and year round structure in USDA Zones 6 through 10, making it ideal for smaller landscapes and bright planting areas where traditional azaleas may struggle. This variety produces a strong spring bloom followed by another flush in fall, while evergreen foliage keeps beds attractive through winter. Mature plants reach about 4 to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide with a naturally tidy habit that fits easily into foundation plantings, borders, or large containers. It thrives in acidic, well drained soil and grows best in morning sun or partial shade, with protection from harsh afternoon heat in hotter climates. Water deeply during establishment, mulch to conserve moisture, and prune lightly after spring bloom if shaping is needed. Autumn Twist stands out as a specimen, in mass plantings, or as a colorful accent near patios and entryways.
