Encore Azalea Autumn Embers®

Fiery spring display, the Encore® Autumn Embers® Azalea (Rhododendron 'Conleb' PP10581) is the preeminent plant for Azalea lovers! Semi-double, scarlet blooms of orange-red intensity arrive in spring, much to the delight of all your early arriving Hummingbirds and early emerging pollinators! Then Autumn Embers® keeps them coming back with an "Encore" of blossoms in autumn!

The dark-green foliage is an elegant accent for the ornate flowers, and its beauty is matched only by its low-maintenance nature. Naturally staying round, this broad-leaved evergreen Azalea is very easy-to-grow! Growing a tidy 2-3 feet in height but spreading 3-4 feet wide, this showy four-season ornamental shrub won't let you down when it comes to reliability and color!

Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, Autumn Embers® even attracts wildlife and pollinators with its brilliant blooms throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 9! Faster growing and very low maintenance, you won't go wrong with Azaleas from the Encore® Azalea series!

Planting and Application:

Those dark-green leaves will stick around all year and continue to brighten your landscape with green against the winter bleakness. The year-round foliage creates wide spreading cover over larger areas of ground while staying low-growing and won't block your view! Add a low border or edging before leggier foundation shrubs and evergreen hedges as facer plants. They, of course, look great mixed with other Encore® Azaleas! Plant a few as a short hedge along a side building, or just one in your front yard for four-season color that can't be beat!

A single spring specimen lights up the landscape or brightens a tired mixed-shrub border. The deep-red blooms will light up your container or entry when contrasted against the foliage. Or use these low-growing evergreens as erosion control and beautify that hard-to-mow hillside or boring slope! Large planters and retaining walls both gain a vivid spiller and thriller!

Their shallow root systems appreciate light mulching over the soil surface but despise soggy conditions.
