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 Jewel Encore Azalea is a year round color factory! It produces an abundance of 2-inch diameter, stunning vibrant pink blooms in spring, summer, and fall that nearly cover the lustrous green foliage. Attractive purple foliage provides interest during the cool season. Just looking at these bright flowers will put you and the butterflies in a good mood! University trials have shown Autumn Jewel to be one of the most cold tolerant Encore Azalea varieties in the series. Butterflies love the flowers and cut blooming branches are useful to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 3-4 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, Autumn Jewel 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 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 along woodland borders.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedges; 7 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.

Thank you for providing me the opportunity to tell you about my experience with Wilson Brothers. First, it was great. I did not know about Encore Azaleas until I received the email. We were finishing our remake of our garden and I was struggling to decide what to plant. I needed year round color and substance. The Encore fit what I needed.
When the 4 Azaleas arrived, I was very impressed with the packaging. The plants stayed moist and no dirt was lost in mailing. The plants were also easy to put in the ground.
Keep up the good work!———————————————Hi Lynn, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Autumn Jewel Encore Azalea. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words!:)
