Description
In 1998, the release of the first reblooming Encore Azalea changed the Azalea world forever. Since then, over 30 Encore varieties have been released. When provided enough sunlight (6 or more hours per day) all varieties bloom in spring and then repeat summer into fall.
Autumn Coral Encore Azalea produces an abundance of large and pretty coral-pink flowers dotted with a fuchsia center that come heavy in spring and repeat in summer and fall. One of the heaviest summer and fall flowering Encore varieties. Butterflies love the flowers and blooming branches can be cut for use to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 2.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Autumn Coral is one of the lowest growing of the Encore Azaleas, making it a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It is also a fine selection for growing in containers and pots, which can be strategically placed to dress up decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. Because they like sun to part shade, Encores do quite well under tall trees and in woodland borders.
Sugeested Spacing: 2-2.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Encore Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
We’ve been growing Encore Azaleas in our gardens since they were first released in the 1990’s and can say with confidence that when planted right, and in the right spot, Encore Azaleas are among the easiest azaleas easy to grow.
Soil: When planted in the ground, Encore Azaleas adapt well to most soil types. In general, like all other azaleas, the Encores prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. Constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas. Heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils are best amended with organic matter or other soil amendments to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and/or moisture retention.
In containers, a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil is suggested. Make sure the pot has a hole(s) in the bottom that allow for sufficient drainage. As mentioned above, Encore Azaleas do not like a constantly soggy soil.
Sun: Encore Azaleas will grow in sun or part shade. For best flowering and reblooming, we recommend at least 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay. In regions that experience very hot summers with intense sunlight, Encore Azaleas might appreciate a break from direct sun during the mid afternoon hours.

I ordered the (3) gal. size azaleas, these plants arrived in a few days. The packaging was perfect and all (6) plants were healthy with no freight damage. All (6) pots had loads of healthy roots and I’m sure will quickly take to my soil and I will have plenty of blooms later this summer.
I plan on buying more of these plants to finish out my landscaping.———————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I am very happy with these azaleas. I ordered these azaleas in November, and they arrived within days. They were packaged so well that no harm came to them in transit….a miracle in itself. Now, I have to wait for spring to see them in bloom, but can’t blame that on Wilson Bros.————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

The plants were shipped & arrived promptly and in beautiful condition. They were very healthy looking. Hope they stay that way through the winter. Looking forward to the blooms next spring. Thank you.—————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
