The Autumn Majesty® Encore® Azalea will reward you with magnificent blooms all season long in exchange for some very easy care. The semi-double, purple blooms have slightly ruffled petals that stand out against the dark green foliage. Some petals have spots in darker pinkish-purple shades that add an extra dimension to the striking flowers. This plant, also known as Rhododendron ‘Robleza,’ blooms during the spring, and reblooms in the summer and fall. This Azalea grows as a perennial in zones 6 through 9 and will offer blooms year after year.
This plant looks fantastic when used as an accent, in a border, hedge, or along a foundation. It usually grows about 3 feet tall, so it should be used in the middle or back of a bed. Azaleas can be grown as a container plant, allowing them to live in areas outside of their hardy zones. This plant is known to attract birds and butterflies.
Autumn Majesty® Encore® Azalea Plant Care
Plant the Autumn Majesty® Encore® Azalea in full sun to part shade. Ideally, the plant should receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight to continuously push out beautiful blooms during the warmer months. Soil should be rich, slightly acidic, and promote good drainage. Azaleas have medium water needs. New plants require water 2 to 3 times a week, and established plants need water 1 to 2 times a week. Water when the top few inches of the soil is dry and thoroughly saturate the soil around the plant to develop a strong root system.
Feed this plant in the spring using a balanced, acidic plant fertilizer. A second fertilizer application in early summer will promote more growth and additional blooms. Azaleas are compact and have a naturally rounded growth habit. Remove dead or damaged growth, but pruning is not typically necessary.
Autumn Majesty® Encore® Azalea Plant Spacing
This plant should be about as wide as tall, so expect it to be about 3 feet all around. Plants can be spaced as close as 3 feet to create a hedge-like look of lush greenery and flowers, or space at least 4 feet apart to allow each plant its own area to stand out and display its striking flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
