The Encore Azalea Autumn Moonlight (Rhododendron ‘Mootum’ PP18416) is an enchanting, evergreen shrub known for its elegant, pure white blooms that brighten up the garden. This repeat blooming azalea flowers in spring, summer, and fall, providing continuous beauty throughout the seasons. Its dark green foliage serves as a striking backdrop to the luminous flowers, making it a standout in any landscape. Hardy and low-maintenance, the Encore Azalea Autumn Moonlight is perfect for adding a touch of classic elegance to your garden. Unlike many traditional azalea bushes, Encore Azaleas bloom best in full sun, so choose an area of your yard where they can receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight. Autumn Moonlight works well in foundation plantings or as a low-growing hedge. Be sure to plant your Encore Azaleas in acidic to slightly acidic soil to maximize your bloom yield. Fertilize this White blooming Azalea in the spring with a balanced fertilizer after the threat of the last frost has dissipated and feed once more in the summer to help your Encore Moonlight bloom through fall.

And, for areas of the country where azaleas don't traditionally thrive, such as those in USDA hardiness Zone 6 and 7, you will see a spring or summer bloom, but not a fall bloom before your temperatures drops.
