It is also a fine selection for growing in large 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 in woodland borders. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  3.5 feet apart for solid hedges;  7 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  For our customers who live and garden north of \u003cspan\u003eUSDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a\u003c\/span\u003e, 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe'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. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSoil: \u003c\/span\u003eWhen 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. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn containers, a 50\/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil is suggested.

Thanks for the great review and the kind words! :) Beth Steele | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTo be sure anything that is purchased on the net, especially live plants, is a crap shoot, Thanks for coming back to me, as time has this very bad habit of growing away from you in rather short order, and I wanted to thank you. I was exceedingly delighted with the condition of the plants and will have no second thoughts about recommending products that you sell on the internet. Some of the plants were in limited bloom and the color rendition was accurate; just the colors that I had envisioned.The three azaleas that we purchased, as described below, arrived in fantastic condition, a little dry (still in excellent turgor), but fixable with a water drench. It was about a week before we got them in the ground so we checked the plants daily and kept the well potted and trimmed plants in a shaded area until they were planted.Since I had contracted with a local guy, who has been doing this kind of work professionally for better than 35 years, to remove some rather large red tipped photonia and plant the azaleas in the same area. I thought it was amusing that the first thing he did was shake the plant and remarked that they were free of insects and the leaf color was brilliant. He may have seen other seller's product who had sent their rooted plants differently.Nevertheless, he planted them and came back several days later to inspect and mulch them. Some of the plants were in bloom and the color rendition was accurate and just the colors that I had envisioned. We liked the pink color and the picture on the net was identical to what we received..Thanks for that.
