Encore Azalea Autumn Sunburst Azalea Flowering Shrub in 1 -Gallon Pot 1 -Pack with Multicolor Blooms

Discover the Encore Azalea Autumn Sunburst, a radiant dwarf-sized shrub that offers a spectacle of bloom not once, but up to three times per year during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Available at Lowe's, this variety is a testament to the enchantment that azaleas can bring to any landscape. The Autumn Sunburst reaches a mature size of 3 feet in height and 3.5 feet in width, making it an ideal choice for those spaces where compact yet lush foliage is desired. The blooms of the Autumn Sunburst are truly remarkable, featuring coral pink petals beautifully contrasted with white ruffled edges, each flower measuring 2.5 inches in diameter. This stunning display of color and texture makes it an excellent choice for creating vibrant hedges, defining elegant borders, enhancing foundation plantings, adorning container gardens, or making a statement in mass plantings throughout the landscape. Thriving in slightly acidic soils with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5, the Autumn Sunburst is best situated in locations that receive 4-6 hours of sunlight daily to promote its vigorous bloom production. Planting is straightforward: dig a hole twice as wide as the pot, ensuring the root ball is placed a quarter to a half inch above the soil level, then backfill with a mix of well-draining garden soil and your native soil. An annual application of slow-release, slightly acidic fertilizer each spring will nourish your azalea, encouraging an abundance of these eye-catching blooms.
