Encore Azaleas are the world's best-selling, re-blooming Azaleas. They boast blooms in Spring, Summer, and Fall. The Autumn Sweetheart produces soft pink/white single-form blooms with lavender freckles. Autumn Sweetheart will truly stand out in any landscape with its blazing display of color. Encore Azalea shrubs will grow best in slightly acidic soils (pH 5.5 to 6.5) and when planted in a location that will receive 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. When planting this Encore Azalea Autumn Sweetheart, dig a hole that is twice the width of the pot you are planting and deep enough to be resting at least 0.5 inches above ground level. Use a well-draining garden soil mixed with your native soil to backfill the hole around your new azalea. To maximize your Encore Azalea's flowering capabilities, apply a slow-released, slightly acidic fertilizer each Spring.
