The Encore Azalea Autumn Bravo is a vibrant flowering evergreen shrub that features stunning red blooms, which make a striking statement in the landscape. Part of the Encore Azalea collection, this variety blooms multiple times throughout the year, starting in the spring and continuing into summer and fall. Its rich, bright red flowers contrast beautifully against the glossy, dark green foliage, adding year-round interest to gardens. This medium-sized azalea is perfect for borders, foundation plantings, and mass plantings, offering both beauty and versatility. Unlike many traditional Azalea shrubs, Encore Azaleas bloom best in full sun, so choose an area of your yard where they can receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight. Autumn Bravo works well in foundation plantings or as a low growing hedge. Be sure to plant your Encore Azaleas in acidic to slightly acidic soil to maximize your bloom yield. Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer after the threat of the last frost has dissipated and feed once more in the summer to help you Encore bloom through fall. Encore Azalea is the world's best-selling multi-season blooming azalea. In many areas of the country, Encore Azalea bloom during 3 seasons of the year-spring, summer, and fall. And, for areas of the country where azaleas don't traditionally thrive, such as those in USDA hardiness Zone 6 and 7, you will see a spring or summer bloom, but not a fall bloom before your temperatures drops.
