The Encore Azalea Autumn Debutante is an evergreen azalea that showcases large, soft pink blooms against lush, glossy green foliage. Renowned for its ability to bloom in three seasons-spring, summer, and fall-this azalea provides lasting beauty and charm to any landscape. Its graceful flowers and dense growth habit make it a versatile choice for gardens, borders, and containers. Unlike many traditional azaleas, 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 Debutante 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 7 or below, you will see a spring or summer bloom, but not a fall bloom before your temperatures drop.
