AUTUMN EMPRESS ENCORE AZALEA CARE

The dwarf Autumn Empress™ pink Encore Azalea bush does best in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers partial sun to partial shade. A planting site with morning sun and afternoon shade is best to shield it from the harsh rays and direct full sun.

These light pink azalea bushes can grow across the United States in USDA zones 6-10. This spring-blooming azalea is very cold hardy! It has an upright growth habit and can grow 3-4 feet tall and wide at maturity making it perfect for small planting sites or a good choice for planting around the foundation of a building or home.

Water thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring to aid in flower production and emerging foliage growth. You can prune Encore azaleas after the first bloom in late spring to shape the shrub to the desired size.
