Encore® Autumn Sunburst® Reblooming Azalea

Plant in moist, well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5–6.0) with generous organic matter. Space 3–4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch 2–3 inches deep, keeping mulch away from the crown.

Water deeply and consistently throughout the growing season. Encore azaleas bloom in spring on old wood and again in late summer and fall on new wood. Prune lightly only immediately after the spring bloom to preserve fall flower buds. Fertilize in spring with an acid azalea fertilizer. Monitor for lace bugs on the undersides of leaves in summer. The white flowers with a yellow blotch are distinctive and cheerful, produced reliably in two seasons for extended landscape color value.
