| Manufacturer Warranty Description | If anything does happen to your plants during delivery, don't worry... we got you covered. Every plant is covered by our warranty. We guarantee your plants to be true to type and in healthy condition. Due to the nature of the trees and shrubs you are buying, a root system and trunk will quickly develop into an established part of your landscape. Damaged leaves are not covered under this warranty. This is a cosmetic issue that does not affect the health of your plant. It's a natural way that plants protect themselves when exposed to heat or darkness. Just trim off any yellow or dried leaves and new foliage should start growing. |

Do Encore Azaleas really live up to the hype?
It seems like Southern Living magazine and HGTV do a story on them every few months. Let me assure you, they are better.
World-renowned azalea breeder, Robert Lee, has done it again! His newest creation, the Autumn Fire Azalea promises to be the best bloomer yet. Lee began the Encore Azaleas project in the 1980s, with an emphasis on creating fall-blooming traits as well as being a winter hardy evergreen. Unlike the two-week spring blooms of traditional azaleas, Lee created 28 breeds that bloom over and over again.
Unfortunately, due to Federal Agricultural Restrictions, these Azaleas are unable to be shipped to Arizona. If you live in this state and order a tree, your order will be canceled.
The size makes it ideal for a row hedge, groundcover or colorful accent. Wherever you decide to put your brand-new Azalea, rest assured it will heighten the look of any landscape. Its compact size (3 feet max) allows this Azalea to sit pretty in perennial beds, natural paths, and even in a container on the patio. No wonder the Encore Azaleas are the bestselling Azaleas in the world! Many people grow these in containers to brighten up their patio or pool deck and attract butterflies!
In addition to the appearance and longevity of its blooms, you’ll be impressed with how tough it is. Hardy and versatile, it was bred to give you unmatched color in a low-maintenance shrub. This Azalea isn't bothered by pests or disease and is even cold hardy and drought resistant once established.
You get huge, elegant white blooms (that can measure up to 3 inches across) that stand out against rich dark green foliage. Cut Autumn Angel flowers add a special touch to your dining table or living room.
You get huge, cherry red blooms (that can measure up to 3 inches across) that stand out against rich dark green foliage. Cut Autumn Fire flowers add a special touch to your dining table or living room.
You get huge, magenta blooms (that can measure up to 3 inches across) that stand out against rich dark green foliage. Cut Autumn Royalty flowers add a special touch to your dining table or living room.

Autumn Royalty Encore Azalea
Blooms Spring, Summer, Fall and into the onset of Winter! Encore Azaleas keep their leaves, where other Azaleas drop them in the winter. This means that during the only season it's not blooming, it still looks green and vibrant. You can find a few, hard to grow Azaleas, that bloom a tad bit thicker at their peak than the Encores. But having up to 9 months of flowers can't be beat.
For immediate blooms, plant well-developed 3-gallon Azaleas. They've been grown up to a year longer than most plants, so they'll give you huge blankets of blooms the next growing season. Perfect for impatient gardeners!
We grow your Azaleas larger than most nurseries. This takes us up to a year longer, but it ensures that you get a well-developed root system that takes off sooner. It also means that you can start enjoying colorful blooms right away, rather than tripping over a little stub of a plant.
Before you do anything else, refrain from planting your new Encore Azaleas in the full shade. These Azaleas are hybrids and they will waste away if you plant them in places you would plant other Azalea bushes. Unlike the traditional Azalea shrubs, this flowering evergreen does best in full sun, even in Arkansas where they originated. You have to love a plant that can thrive in Miami and New Jersey. It just proves that it'll do great, just about anywhere you put it.
You will want to ensure your planting location has good drainage. Azaleas and rhododendrons naturally grow in rocky areas where there is little moisture retention. While they do need some irrigation and will adapt to your soil with regular watering, the quick removal of water from their root zone is important. In heavy clay, always plant your Autumn Embers Encore Azaleas high in raised beds. Give them well-loosened soil twice the size of their roots even in perfect soil.
Maintain regular watering the first year for your new ever-blooming Azaleas. Once Azaleas have developed good strong roots into your soil, they will be ready to dance through dry spells and exhibit their excellent drought tolerance. Like other Azaleas, the Encores prefers an acidic organic composted soil with an optimal ph between 5.0 and 5.5. Feed with a well-balanced acidic fertilizer, so you can enjoy the blooms season after season.
You’ll need to do some clipping to keep Encore Azaleas shaped. Don’t do any harsh shearing. You will lose your blooms for a while. If you selected the mature size wisely for where you want to grow your new Encore Azalea Shrubs, there is no need for hard pruning. They keep sending out blooms all season and into the onset of winter. The last thing you want to do is cut off your color.
