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 Coral Encore Azalea produces an abundance of large and pretty coral-pink flowers dotted with a fuchsia center that come heavy in spring and repeat in summer and fall. One of the heaviest summer and fall flowering Encore varieties. Butterflies love the flowers and blooming branches can be cut for use to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 2.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Autumn Coral is one of the lowest growing of the Encore Azaleas, making it a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It is also a fine selection for growing in 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.

Sugeested Spacing: 2-2.5 feet apart for solid hedge; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, 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.

Ordered 7 One Gallon Encore Azaleas in different colors. They were packaged very well and arrived with no damage at all. These one gallon plants were nice and full, as good or better than you’d find at a local garden store and much better than any big box store. I very much like the one gallon version as the root ball is a modest size so planting them is not a major project, especially when you have hard native solid as I do.

Needed to replace 3 Encore azaleas in color not to be found in all of Houston, Harris County! Ordered with skepticism but they arrived right on time, beautifully packed with NO breakage. Now thriving.—————————————————-Hi Linda, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Autumn Coral Encore Azalea. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! 🙂

I was fortunate enough to stumble on Wilson Bros. Site. I’ve personally heard From Brent as to questions I’ve asked. Spencer, their general manager also has personally communicated with me as to proper care of my new Azaleas. As a business owner I appreciate the personal touch they give to assure the best care of Azaleas. All of my Azaleas traveled clear across the country wrapped expertly to insure they arrived at my door in excellent condition. I am absolutely pleased with all eighteen plants. I highly recommend purchasing your garden beauties from Wilson Bros. Now to figure out how to get rid of the jackrabbits that also thoroughly enjoy Wilson Bros Azaleas. ————————– WBG Reply: Hi Amber – It was our pleasure to serve you and we certainly appreciate your review of the Encore Azaleas and all the compliments! It makes everything we do even more with the while. Hope you enjoy these beauties for years to come. Regarding the rabbits, maybe try a repellent to keep the rabbits away. Here’s a link to an article in our website you can copy and paste into your browser that provides a homemade remedy for repelling rabbits and deer…https://www.wilsonbrosgardens.com/homemade-deer-rabbit-repellent.html. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
