Description

In 1998, the release of the first reblooming Encore Azalea changed the Azalea world forever. Since then, over 30 Encore varieties have been released. When provided enough sunlight (6 or more hours per day) all varieties bloom in spring and then repeat summer into fall.

Autumn Carnation Encore Azalea produces an abundance of large, gorgeous vibrant pink double blooms in spring, summer, and fall that nearly cover the lustrous, dark green foliage. The ruffled flowers are very similar in appearance to the old ‘Pink Ruffle’ azalea. University trials have shown Autumn Carnation to be one of the most cold tolerant Encore Azalea varieties in the series. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches are nice for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, Autumn Carnation Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, mid-size hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It is also a fine selection for growing in large containers and pots, which can be strategically placed to dress up decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. Because they like sun to part shade, Encores do quite well under tall trees and in woodland borders.

Suggested Spacing: 3-3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Encore Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

We’ve been growing Encore Azaleas in our gardens since they were first released in the 1990’s and can say with confidence that when planted right, and in the right spot, Encore Azaleas are among the easiest azaleas easy to grow.

Soil: When planted in the ground, Encore Azaleas adapt well to most soil types. In general, like all other azaleas, the Encores prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. Constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas. Heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils are best amended with organic matter or other soil amendments to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and/or moisture retention.

In containers, a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil is suggested. Make sure the pot has a hole(s) in the bottom that allow for sufficient drainage. As mentioned above, Encore Azaleas do not like a constantly soggy soil.

Sun: Encore Azaleas will grow in sun or part shade. For best flowering and reblooming, we recommend at least 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay. In regions that experience very hot summers with intense sunlight, Encore Azaleas might appreciate a break from direct sun during the mid afternoon hours.

Nice size plant, received in good health and bloomed right as it got here. Flowers are fantastic color.———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

The plants arrived in good condition and following their planting instructions, they’re still doing fine (almost 1 month in).————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

To be sure anything that is purchased on the net, especially live plants, is a crap shoot, Thanks for coming back to me, as time has this very bad habit of growing away from you in rather short order, and I wanted to thank you. I was exceedingly delighted with the condition of the plants and will have no second thoughts about recommending products that you sell on the internet. Some of the plants were in limited bloom and the color rendition was accurate; just the colors that I had envisioned.The three azaleas that we purchased, as described below, arrived in fantastic condition, a little dry (still in excellent turgor), but fixable with a water drench. It was about a week before we got them in the ground so we checked the plants daily and kept the well potted and trimmed plants in a shaded area until they were planted.Since I had contracted with a local guy, who has been doing this kind of work professionally for better than 35 years, to remove some rather large red tipped photonia and plant the azaleas in the same area. I thought it was amusing that the first thing he did was shake the plant and remarked that they were free of insects and the leaf color was brilliant. He may have seen other seller’s product who had sent their rooted plants differently.Nevertheless, he planted them and came back several days later to inspect and mulch them. Some of the plants were in bloom and the color rendition was accurate and just the colors that I had envisioned. We liked the pink color and the picture on the net was identical to what we received..Thanks for that. Many thanks.———————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks so much for the awesome review and the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The Azalea is even more beautiful than the description or the photos. It arrived quickly, in excellent condition, ready for planting.
Especially when one considers the quality of the hemlocks I ordered from another nursery, your products are outstanding.———————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I am so pleased with everything I have ordered from Wilson Bros Gardens. I have a thing for Azaleas, and low and behold, you had such a great selection of them! The shrubs arrived very well protected for shipping and the shrubs themselves were healthy and of a good size. Much smaller bushes would have been WAY more on other sites and the SHIPPING IS INCLUDED in the price! I have walked away from ALOT of sites because the shipping was outrageous!!!
I would not HESITATE to order from Wilson Brothers Gardens! I am thrilled with the shipping being included in price, the sizes available and the variety! I check back often to see what is new!
Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! Thanks for the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
