Autumn Starburst Encore Azalea is a compact, dwarf evergreen azalea shrub with an upright mounding habit with small glossy bright green leaves and bicolor semi-double coral pink flowers with broad white margins that blooms heavily in spring and another 2-3 smaller blooms before winter.  A very versatile plant that prefers partial sun with acidic rich, well-drained soils.  Azaleas are excellent pollination and butterfly attractors.

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.  Cold winters may freeze the flower buds and reduce bloom come spring, and leaves may experience winter burn.
