The Encore Azalea Autumn Empress is a re-blooming intermediate-sized variety that can bloom up to 3 times per year; Spring, Summer, and Fall. This shrub matures to 4 ft H X 3 ft W and produces 2.25 In. semi-double blooms that are pink. Use the Autumn Empress in planting hedges, borders, foundations, in container gardens, or in mass plantings in the landscape. Encore Azaleas will grow best is slightly acidic soils(pH 5.5-6.5) and when planted in a location that will receive 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. When planting dig the hole 2X the width of the size pot of the plant you are planting with a depth that will allow the root ball to be 1/4 to 1/2 In. above the soil level. Then use well-draining garden soil mixed with your native soil to backfill the hole around your new Azalea. Use a slow-release slightly acidic fertilizer each year in Spring to keep your Encore Azalea well fed to help maximize bloom production. ---------- This item includes Two 1 Gallon Encore Azalea Autumn Empress (live plants) in plastic pots with soil.
