Description

In 1998, the release of the first reblooming Encore Azalea changed the Azalea world forever. 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.

Autumn Carnation Encore Azalea produces an abundance of large, gorgeous vibrant pink double blooms in spring, summer, and fall that nearly cover the lustrous, dark green foliage. The ruffled flowers are very similar in appearance to the old ‘Pink Ruffle’ azalea. University trials have shown Autumn Carnation to be one of the most cold tolerant Encore Azalea varieties in the series. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches are nice for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, Autumn Carnation Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, mid-size hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. 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.

Suggested Spacing: 3-3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, 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.

Growing Preferences

We’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.

Soil: When 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.

In 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. As mentioned above, Encore Azaleas do not like a constantly soggy soil.

Sun: Encore Azaleas will grow in sun or part shade. 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. In regions that experience very hot summers with intense sunlight, Encore Azaleas might appreciate a break from direct sun during the mid afternoon hours.

I just had to drop you a note to tell you how absolutely ecstatic I am with my Encore Azaleas. I have placed 3 orders with you and my first order, containing 2 of the azaleas, has just arrived.
The plants are in perfect condition! They are larger than I expected and I am absolutely thrilled!
I can hardly wait for the next two orders.
Living here in So. Florida (Delray Beach) I could not find a nursery that had azaleas suitable for this climate. I did some research and decided to give your nursery a try. The fact that you are located in Georgia helped me to feel comfortable ordering plants that your website said would do well in my location.
I live in a massive, 600 unit, Senior 55+ villa complex and none of my neighbors have azaleas. I will be the envy of hundreds! LOL…Thank you and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Warm regard.————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! Beth | WBG 🙂

I was fortunate enough to stumble on Wilson Bros. Site. I’ve personally heard From Brent as to questions I’ve asked. Spencer, their general manager also has personally communicated with me as to proper care of my new Azaleas. As a business owner I appreciate the personal touch they give to assure the best care of Azaleas. All of my Azaleas traveled clear across the country wrapped expertly to insure they arrived at my door in excellent condition. I am absolutely pleased with all eighteen plants. I highly recommend purchasing your garden beauties from Wilson Bros. Now to figure out how to get rid of the jackrabbits that also thoroughly enjoy Wilson Bros Azaleas. ————————– WBG Reply: Hi Amber – It was our pleasure to serve you and we certainly appreciate your review of the Encore Azaleas and all the compliments!
