The Autumn Fire™ Encore® Azalea, Azalea x ‘Robleg’ PP#28279, is a slow growing dwarf broadleaf evergreen that will delight the gardener with two and a half inch red blooms from spring through fall. In fall the leaves become purple, adding even more interest to the landscape.

Autumn Fire™ Encore® Azalea Care

Plant high to promote good drainage. Azaleas perform best in acidic soil, which can be amended with chelated iron if necessary. Soil should not be allowed to become dry until established. Prune only to shape after the first bloom period in spring. Fertilize in late winter or early spring to give the upcoming blooms a boost. These do the best in the morning sun if possible, but not necessary for healthy plants.

Autumn Fire™ Encore® Azalea Spacing

Plant 4.5 to 5 feet apart, center to center when used as a foundation planting or in the shrub border. If establishing a compact hedge, plant 3 feet apart, center to center.

    I bought my Mom some of these azaleas for her 60th birthday. I live 2500 miles away from her so couldn’t make her party. She was so surprised and tickled when they showed up at her door. She told me to make sure I gave a good review. They showed up beautiful and healthy! Thanks!

    Beautiful and Healthy

    Posted by Margie Rodriguez on Aug 24, 2021

    I wanted red azaleas and needed 18 which I could not walk into a store and buy. I was somewhat hesitant on ordering plants online. I found Plant Addicts via a Google search. I read their story which I loved. I always try and support the small business owners whenever possible. I reached out to them (Richard) to discuss all my concerns about ordering online and about the shipping to California. He assured me they would arrive in good condition and would not ship them until the weather was better. I ordered 18 in March. When they arrived I was very impressed with the packaging and was surprised of how healthy they were. In June I ordered 5 more. They all began to bloom in July. I love the vibrant red color...exactly what I wanted! They are all blooming now and have stayed green and healthy despite the heat. I just order two more today which will bring my total 25 so needless to say I love them! They are very green and lush. I will definitely continue to order plants from Plants Addicts. They provide exceptional customer service and have been a pleasure to work with.
