Encore Azalea Autumn Rouge®
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 Rouge is a vibrant, evergreen azalea variety known for its striking reddish-pink, semi-double blooms that appear in spring, summer, and fall. Its flowers stand out against the glossy, dark green foliage, which may take on a purplish hue in colder months.
This fast-growing variety reaches about 4.5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, making it ideal for hedges, borders, foundation plantings, or container gardens. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, acidic soil.
Hardiness Zone:
Encore® Autumn Rouge is well-suited for USDA zones 6-10, offering excellent heat and cold tolerance while providing reliable, season-long color with minimal maintenance.
