The Encore Azalea Autumn Sunset is a re-blooming dwarf sized variety that can bloom up to 3 times per year; Spring, Summer, and Fall. This shrub matures to 3 ft H X 3.5 ft W and produces 2.5 In. blooms that are glowing red. Use the Autumn Sunset 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 a well-draining garden soil mixed with your native soil to back fill 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.
