'Encore' is a true breakthrough in Azalea breeding! Just like other varieties, it has amazingly extravagant clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers, but while other Azalea flower just once in April and May, 'Encore' will also flower a second time in July to September, effectively flowering from spring all the way to autumn!
A real attention-grabber, almost completely covering the plant, set off to perfection by glossy dark evergreen foliage. Making this a gorgeous garden shrub all year round.
Happy in sun or light shade and perfect for growing in containers - where they make a striking addition to doorways, terraces, and balconies - but also happy in flower borders. Just the thing for bringing a bold mass of colour to the spring garden, month after month.
Azaleas are easy to care for, needing little maintenance or pruning. Requiring acidic soil, incorporate plenty of ericaceous compost when planting and keep moist.
Supplied as a set of three established plants in 8cm pots, ready to plant out.
