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.

Voted AZALEA OF THE YEAR by the American Rhododendron Society, and one of the most popular and cold hardy in the Encore Azalea Series, Autumn Royalty produces an abundance of very large, 3.5-inch diameter, brilliant purple blooms in spring, summer, and fall against a backdrop of deep green, large arrow-shaped leaves similar in appearance to the Southern Indica Azaleas. One of the most cold hardy Encore Azaleas in the series.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, Autumn Royalty 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. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 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.

If you’re looking for an online plant nursery Wilson Bros is the place to go. I never gotten nursery stock at any big box store that can compare to there’s. Large selection of healthy, beautiful plants, fast delivery and their packaging is exceptional. Thank you Wilson Bros!—————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This is the fourth order I’ve placed with Wilson Bros and I have been very pleased every time. This azalea was no exception. It arrived looking green and healthy. The plants are prepped so they arrive with some moisture still left in the soil (even when sent all the way to MN), and they are exceptionally well packed. I transplanted it to a pot because of our northern climate and it’s doing great. I can’t wait until it flowers! Thanks again Wilson Bros, you’ve made me a customer for life!—————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I just retired this year and with Covid-19 I stayed in and did a lot of work on my yard. Being new at this I ordered a lot of plants from a variety of places.

They are the only place I will work with in the future.———————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I received my azaleas in very safe packaging, in great condition. Shipping was quick, the plants were in great shape and condition and came with planting and care instructions. Painless process to find them, order them and receive. Would order again in a heartbeat – the only downside was they only had 4 plants and I needed 6!————————————-Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Sorry about the shortage, I hope you put you name on our Waiting List! Beth | WBG 🙂

A very health plant arrived in excellent condition and I look forward to beautiful blooms next spring and fall.
