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.

    The box had a dent in it but that could be a delivery error. The plant was not damaged in any way. It was a sturdy, healthy little plant. It did need watered, but the instructions said to open right away and give it a drink. So over all I am very pleased with my plant. So far with it in the ground it hasn't died.

    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!
