Autumn Royalty Azalea
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
With royalty in the name, you almost don’t even need to see the Autumn Royalty to know it’s a beautiful plant. There’s a striking oriole here that really acts as a great centerpiece to any garden.

My garden bed gets 3 hrs.am sun...is this enough for this plant ?
No, 3 hours of sun is generally not enough for an Autumn Royalty Azalea (Rhododendron 'Conlec'). This variety thrives best in 4 to 6 hours of sun per day, ideally in morning sunlight with afternoon shade. While it can tolerate partial shade, too little sunlight may result in fewer blooms and slower growth. Providing the right balance of light helps Autumn Royalty Azaleas produce their vibrant, long-lasting flowers.

Will it grow well in pots?
Yes, Autumn Royalty Azalea (Rhododendron 'Autumn Royalty') grows well in a pot. These azaleas are perfect for container gardening due to their compact size and adaptability. Ensure the pot has good drainage, and use a well-draining, acidic soil mix. Place the pot in an area with partial sun to partial shade for best growth, and water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Autumn Royalty Azaleas also offer stunning purple blooms throughout the growing season, making them a great addition to patios, balconies, or garden spaces.
