The Encore Azalea Autumn Cheer is a compact, evergreen azalea that dazzles with its abundant small single form bright pink blooms. Known for its multi-season flowering, this Encore Azalea blooms prolifically in spring, summer, and fall, providing continuous color in your garden. Its lush, glossy green foliage remains attractive year-round, making it a favorite for adding vibrant beauty to landscapes. These azaleas require little maintenance once established and have superb disease resistance. They are also great attractants to pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Unlike many traditional azaleas, Encore Azaleas bloom best in full sun, so choose an area of your yard where they can receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight. Autumn Cheer works well in foundation plantings or as a low growing hedge. Be sure to plant your Encore Azaleas in acidic to slightly acidic soil to maximize your bloom yield. Fertilize in the Spring with a balanced fertilizer after the threat of the last frost has dissipated and feed once more in the Summer to help your Encore bloom through Fall. Encore Azalea is the world's best-selling multi-season blooming azalea. In many areas of the country, Encore Azalea bloom during 3 seasons of the year-Spring, Summer, and Fall. And, for areas of the country where azaleas don't traditionally thrive, such as those in USDA hardiness Zone 6 and 7, you will see a Spring or Summer bloom, but not a Fall bloom before your temperatures drop.
