The captivating double flowers also make it one of the most popular selection for growing in 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 along woodland borders.

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.

You could tell those that packed them loved them as much as I did when I received them. They are so healthy and I can't wait to see them bloom.-------------------------------------Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWilson Brothers have become my therapy during this trying time. This azalea as well as all the plants I have ordered have arrived in excellent condition. They are thriving and look great.-------------------------------We are so glad you are pleased! Thanks! Beth | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Embers Encore Azaleas arrived very healthy and happy, and even in this hot, Florida drought that we are currently experiencing, they are thriving and starting to bloom. Will definitely be ordering more of these beauties! ----------------------------- WBG Reply: Hi Carla - Thanks so much for your review of the Autumn Embers Encore Azaleas and we hope you enjoy them for many years to come. Nice to hear they're handling the heat and drought well there in FL. My dad lives in The Villages, FL and has many varieties of Encore Azaleas doing well there for many years. Let us know if there's ever anything else we can do for you. We're at your service! - Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe plant looks great, although I guess we'll find out the bloom color in Spring; and I have every confidence that it will grow well. The shipping was timely and efficient. We'll buy from them again! Hank --------------------- WBG Reply: Hi Hank! - Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review and for the compliments. The Encores Azaleas bloom at a young age so you should get to see some blooms in spring. Hope you enjoy the azaleas for years to come! Let us know of there's ever anything else we can help you with. We're at your service! - Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEncore azaleas simply are the best most healthy azaleas on the market. If they get enough sun they will bloom at least three times each season. The colors are simply outstanding. Wilson Brothers is without a doubt the best online nursery on the market. Shipment is fast and plants are all outstanding and healthy. I have several local nurseries in my area but Wilson Brothers always sends me far superior plants. ----------------- WBG RESPONSE: Hi Robert - Thanks so much for your compliments! It makes everything we do even more worth the while. I have all 30 varieties of Encore Azaleas growing in my landscape and have yet to lose a single one over the years. That' said, I've been growing azaleas for decades and have learned the basics for easy success, which folks can find under the Planting and Care tabs on this or any other azalea page in our website. Have you tried the new Autumn Fire Encore Azalea? The flower color is indescribable, and it produces LOADS of blooms even at a young age. Thanks again and let us know if there's ever anything else we can help you with. We're at your service. Plant long and prosper! - Brent Wilson | Wilson Bros Gardens\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eVery pleased with the color and shape of the plant\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI ordered 5 of the encore Azalea's. Colors were Red\/Purple\/White. They came well packaged and the company was easy to deal with. I still have blooms on the red ones and it's November 7. I will definitely buy more of these.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48142583496858,"sku":"D2LSC 3267535019","price":22.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/azalea-encore-autumn-embers-102_8ea825ea-b71d-4492-8be6-53055a8d5e56.jpg?v=1779907711","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/autumn-embers-encore-azalea-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
