Description
The Echo 'Augusta' Azalea is the showiest of all reblooming azaleas we've ever seen...and it's heat and sun resistant. In spring it features an abundance of mesmerizingly brilliant fluorescent fuchsia flowers that glow like no other in the landscape. Then, in July to early August a second bloom cycle begins that continues all the way to November. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements. Growing up to 6 feet tall and wide it is a great choice for an accent in flowering shrub borders or in groupings or as a colorful hedge.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 feet tall and wide, the Echo 'Augusta' Reblooming Azalea is ideal for use as an accent in flowering shrub borders or in groupings, mass plantings or as a colorful hedge or screen in larger landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to pink or fuchsia theme gardens, Azalea gardens, cottage gardens and butterfly and hummingbird gardens.
Spacing: 4-5' for solid hedges; 8'+ for space between plants

Growing Preferences
When planted right and in the right spot, Echo Azaleas are very easy to grow and long-lived. They were bred in the South so are exceptionally heat tolerant but are also cold tolerant.
Soil. In the ground, Echo Azaleas adapt well to most soil types, provided the soil is well-drained. In general, like all other azaleas, the Echo's prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. Heavy clay or other poor draining soils can be amended with bagged top soil, potting soil or other soil amendments to enhance soil porosity.
In Containers: When growing Echo Azaleas in containers we suggest a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil. Know that whether growing in the ground or in containers, constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas, and most other plants for that matter.
Sun. Echo Azaleas will grow in full sun to part shade. Pick a spot in the garden that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to help produce beautiful blooms and lush foliage. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay.
