Perfect Plants All Shrubs & Hedges Autumn Embers™ Encore® Azalea Shrub

The striking Autumn Embers™ Encore® Azalea shrub will set your landscape apart like no other with its fiery deep orange-red blooms. Its thick bloom coverage continues to produce through three full seasons, adding a stunningly dramatic effect almost all year long!

The small evergreen Azalea Embers can be planted alone to add color, or in a hedge row for a beautifully dramatic effect. It is also an excellent selection as a widely spreading, flowering groundcover.

The Autumn Embers azalea does well in partial sun with afternoon shade for at least 4-6 hours. It prefers moist, well-drained soil with a low pH. It can grow up to 3 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. The red flowers do not like the full sun.

The Autumn Embers™ orange-red, 2.5-inch semi-double blooms stand out against its dark green leaves and foliage. It is exceptionally low maintenance and hardy, trouble-free plant.

This aesthetic plant will make a colorful statement in any landscape. The Encore series of azalea shrubs are different from their traditional southern counterpart…they re-bloom during spring, summer, and fall! Red Encore azalea varieties are easy to care for and gorgeous!
