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.Â
Autumn Belle Encore Azalea produces an abundance of gorgeous double flowers with soft-pink petals embellished by delicate white lacing and magenta freckles in spring, summer, and fall against a backdrop of dense evergreen foliage. The flowers are attractive to butterflies.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 4-5 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide,  Autumn Belle Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, mid-size hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It is also a fine selection for growing in large 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. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; Â 7 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.Â
Soil:Â 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.Â
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:Â 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.

Hello:
Instead of reviewing each product separately, I will say all 3 plants were superior to others I have seen in Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. The packaging was over the top perfect and plants arrived like they never travelled.

I have had the azaleas for two weeks, still waiting to have them planted, they are in great condition and have even grown. I ordered from another company as well but these were easier to unwrap and not leggy. I would definitely order again.———————————WBG Reply: Hi Laury, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Autumn Belle Encore Azalea. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
