Encore Azalea Autumn Fire®
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.
Encore® Autumn Fire is a compact, evergreen azalea variety known for its rich, deep red semi-double blooms that appear in spring, summer, and fall. The flowers contrast beautifully against its dark green foliage, which takes on a burgundy hue in colder months. This dwarf azalea grows to about 2.5 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for borders, containers, and foundation plantings. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, acidic soil. Autumn Fire is also heat-tolerant, cold-hardy, and low-maintenance, making it a great choice for year-round color in the landscape.
