Encore Azalea Autumn Embers Shrub
$21.99 – $74.99
Bringing the quality reblooming nature and reliable growth habit you’ve come to expect from this collection, the Autumn Embers Encore Azalea is a true landscape gem!
The Autumn Embers has rich orange-red blooms. This Encore features a huge initial bloom in spring and then reblooms through summer and fall (and beyond in particularly warm climates). The blooms will keep on coming, with no deadheading required.
Additionally, the Autumn Embers trademark orange-red blooms sit atop shiny green foliage that remains evergreen all year long. New foliage emerges a gorgeous light green in spring before maturing to a glossy dark green.
This orange-red blooming azalea was bred for its cold hardiness and chosen for its naturally rounded growth habit.
The Autumn Embers Encore Azalea reaches 3′ H and 3.5′ W, making it a great choice for a low-maintenance hedge or border.
