Azalea Encore® Autumn Lilac®
Azalea Encore® Autumn Lilac® is a dwarf evergreen azalea shrub with dark green foliage and vibrant lavender flowers that bloom first in mid-spring and continue to rebloom all season. Azalea Encore® Autumn Lilac® is a versatile plant that performs best in partial sun and thrives in acidic, rich, well-drained soils. Azaleas are excellent pollinator and butterfly attractors, making Azalea Encore® Autumn Lilac® a beautiful choice for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and mixed shrub beds. The Encore series can handle more sun than most azaleas, and Azalea Encore® Autumn Lilac® is especially well-suited for sunnier locations.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: A low maintenance plant. Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot. Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Can use sulfur or iron sulfate to lower ph, and lime or limestone to raise PH. Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Foundational Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.
COMPANION PLANTS: Buckeye Bottlebrush, Hydrangea, Hellebore
