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.
They arrived quickly and in great condition. Can’t wait to see them in bloom.
The Autumn Lily Encore Azaleas arrived in great condition. It's early November here in east TN, and they are still blooming. We've ordered about 15, and haven't lost a one. Will definitely be ordering again.
Am anxiously waiting to see if these Autumn Lily plants are truly evergreen. The leaves are really different (kind of fuzzy) from azaleas that I've had before and it's hard to believe that they will actually thrive in full sun. All 4 plants arrived in excellent health and I'm hopeful that they will soon be blooming again, as advertised.
