The Encore Azalea Autumn Monarch is a captivating reblooming azalea that commands attention with its striking, fiery orange-red, semi-double form blooms. Flowering in spring, summer, and fall, this evergreen shrub ensures vibrant color throughout the growing season. Its lush, dark green foliage provides year-round beauty and serves as the perfect backdrop to its bold blossoms. The Autumn Monarch’s versatile, upright form makes it ideal for borders, foundation plantings, hedges, or as a container accent. Thriving in USDA Zones 6–10, this low-maintenance azalea is a regal addition to any garden, bringing dramatic flair and lasting charm. Encore Azaleas bloom best when given four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. When planting this Azalea dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix slightly acidic garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball half an inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil.
