Autumn Twist Encore Azalea is a fast and moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6A through 10B. It prefers growing in a location that provides morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in loam or clay soil that is well drained or moderately drained. It attracts butterflies and visual attention and is resistant to diseases and heat.
Autumn Twist Encore Azalea can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, as a focal point, in landscape beds or islands or as a hedge and also in theme gardens or cottage gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Perhaps the most unique of the Encore Azalea family, Autumn Twist produces an abundance of large, eye-catching white and purple striped blooms in spring, summer, and fall against dark green foliage. Some blooms may be all purple or all white which provides a multi-color effect. One of the most popular in the series. USDA Zones 6-9.
Uses
With a height of 4.5 feet and spread of 4.5 feet, Autumn Twist is useful in foundation plantings, in small or large groupings in landscape beds, as an informal colorful hedge, or singularly in containers.
Culture & Care
Encore Azaleas prefer a an acid soil that contains plenty of organic matter and is well-drained. Encores will tolerate all-day full sun however will also tolerate some shade. Too much shade and flowering will be diminished. 5 hours or more of direct sun per day is recommended. A light pruning and feeding after the first bloom phase can help stimulate new growth and encourage heavier bud development.
love this color combination. Planted it and it is growing well.
