Since then, over 30 Encore varieties have been released. When provided enough sunlight (6 or more hours per day) all varieties bloom in spring and then repeat summer into fall. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith flowers so brilliant you can see them from 500 yards away, Autumn Fire will set your landscape on fire with its LOADS of large, deep red flowers with black freckles in spring, summer, and fall. No picture we've taken does the flower color justice. You have to see it with your own eyes to appreciate the spectacular color. The flowers stand out nicely against a backdrop of deep green leaves that turn a deep purple in winter. Autumn Fire is one of the more cold hardy varieties of the Encore Azalea Series.\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\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing to 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide,  Autumn Fire Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Its fiery and freckled blooms, slower growth rate, and abundance of flowers makes it one of the best Encore selections 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 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  2.5 feet apart for solid hedges;  5 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 6b\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. Make sure the pot has a hole(s) in the bottom that allow for sufficient drainage.

For best flowering and reblooming, we recommend at least 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay.

She arrived in perfect health, looking forward to displaying her in the garden.-----------------------Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eOrdered 7 One Gallon Encore Azaleas in different colors. They were packaged very well and arrived with no damage at all. These one gallon plants were nice and full, as good or better than you’d find at a local garden store and much better than any big box store. I very much like the one gallon version as the root ball is a modest size so planting them is not a major project, especially when you have hard native solid as I do.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBeautiful shaped plant and healthy! I can't wait to see it in bloom. Packaging for all three of them was PERFECT. I will DEFINITELY shop with Wilson Brothers Gardens again!-----------------Thanks for the great review, we are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePlant came healthy and in great shape. I look forward to seeing what the blooms look like next year. I love shrubs and flowers with double blooms. The red in the photo looks lovely. Fingers crossed.-----------------------------------------------Hi Diane, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Autumn Fire Encore Azalea.

Both were healthy when they arrived, and well packaged. I order a lot of plants online and have learned that some companies know how to prepare their plants for shipping, and some not so much.. Wilson Bros. Gardens knows what they are doing. My plants are in the ground and doing nicely. Not paying for shipping was an unexpected bonus. -------------------- WBG Reply: Hi Lynne - Thanks so much for providing your review of the Autumn Fire Encore Azalea and for the compliments.

Got it in the ground just before leaving for a trip. Return home in a few days - hoping it is flourishing. ----------------- WBG Reply: Hi Dillie - Thanks so much for your review of the Autumn Fire Encore Azalea you purchased from us and for the compliments!

All plants shipped have arrived in excellent condition with fantastic packing. No complaints either on the plant or the shipper. --------- WBG Reply: Hi Richard - Thanks so much for your compliments and review, and letting us and future visitors from Palm Beach Gardens know that the Encore Azaleas do great there. I like all the Encores with red tones but Autumn Fore is my personal favorite. The deep, true-red flowers are spectacular and produced in abundance. Let us know if there's ever anything else we can help you with. Plant long and prosper! - Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe plants were well packaged with very little damage when received. They seem to be healthy and don't show any signs of shock after being planted. They are not in bloom at the moment so I can't truly complete a final review until the colors are actually confirmed to be what was ordered. So far..so good though. ----------- WBG RESPONSE: Hi Mark - Just wait until you see the real-life color of the Autumn Fire Encore Azalea. It's got to be one of the most vibrant red colored flowers I've seen on any variety of azalea, ever. This variety is a little slower growing than all the other Encores in my landscape, but it blooms exceptionally heavy from the first year....you can see it from a 100 yards away when in bloom! Thanks for your review and let us know if there's ever anything else we can help you with. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Autumn Fire azaleas arrived in good condition :). I planted them a little over a week ago and am waiting to make sure they survive and grow. So far so good :) I contacted customer service once after ordering, and they replied promptly and were very helpful. Great service and products! ---------- WBG RESPONSE - Hi Elizabeth. We want to thank you for taking the time to provide us and future visitors to Wilson Bros Gardens with your review. Perhaps the number one tip regarding the care of azaleas has to do with soil moisture. First, make sure plant with the top surface of the rootball at or above ground level, never below ground level. Planting depth will depend on how well your soil drains. You'll find some simple step-by-step planting instructions under the Planting tab on this page. As with so many other ornamental plants, in average garden soil you should not have to water your newly planted Encore Azaleas every day. More often than not, this causes constantly soggy or wet soil conditions that will lead to problems with the roots. During the first growing season, in the absence of sufficient rainfall, water only as needed to keep the rootball and surrounding soil damp to moist. Keep in mind that deep soaking less frequently is much better than splashing just a little water on the plants every day. You'll find more care tips under the Care tabs on this page that should ensure good long term health health and survival. Thanks again for your review and let us know if there's ever anything we can help you with. We're at your service! - Brent \/ Wilson Bros Gardens\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePlants came in very well packaged and the planats are very healthy,\nI couldnt of asked for more. Love these plants\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIndescribable color! There was one bloom open and they are a deep bright red if that makes any sense? The plants were a little smallish but in very good shape and with purple foliage, which was a surprise. The plant has many buds and I can't wait to see it in full bloom. I have several other varieties of Encore Azaleas but think that this one is my favorite. Very happy!\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe two plants I ordered were in good condition upon arrival.
