Encore Azalea Autumn Coral (1 Gallon) Coral Pink Flowering Shrub - Full Sun Live Outdoor Plant

The Encore Azalea Autumn Coral features stunning pink blooms with delicate flecks of dark pink throughout spring, summer, and fall. This dwarf azalea boasts a compact and controlled growth habit, making it a low-maintenance addition to any landscape. Perfect as a specimen, accent, low hedge, or foundation plant, the Autumn Coral also thrives in large pots, whether in a mixed container or as a standalone. The Encore Azalea Coral matures to 3' wide by 2.5' tall and remians hardy in USDA Zones 7 - 10. Unlike many traditional azaleas, Encore azaleas bloom best in full sun, so choose an area of your yard where they can receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight. Autumn Coral works well in foundation plantings or as a low growing hedge. Be sure to plant your Encore Azaleas in acidic to slightly acidic soil to maximize your bloom yield. In many areas of the country, Encore Azalea bloom during 3 seasons of the year-spring, summer, and fall. And, for areas of the country where azaleas don't traditionally thrive, such as those in USDA hardiness Zone 6 and 7, you will see a spring or summer bloom, but not a fall bloom before your temperatures drop.

• REBLOOMING EVERGREEN: The Encore Azalea Coral is a stunning reblooming azalea that provides extended periods of vibrant color. This evergreen shrub is known for its bright coral-pink flowers that bloom multiple times throughout the year, offering beauty in every season. It's an excellent choice for foundation planting, mass plantings, or as a standalone focal point. This fast-growing azalea can reach sizes of 3' W x 2.5' H.
• CORAL PINK: The Encore Azalea Coral is perfect for adding a splash of color to your garden or landscape. Its dense growth habit makes it ideal for use as a hedge or privacy screen. The beautiful coral-pink blooms in spring, summer, and fall attract various pollinators, including butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, adding life and movement to your garden.
• NO PRUNING: This azalea variety requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape. There's no need for deadheading, as it naturally sheds spent flowers. If pruning is desired, it should be done immediately after the spring flowering. Light pruning once established can help promote growth and enhance flowering in subsequent seasons. Avoid pruning in the fall to prevent removing buds set for the next blooming cycle.
• USDA ZONES: The Encore Azalea Coral is hardy in USDA zones 7 -10. It is quite adaptable and can thrive in full sun but prefers partial shade for optimal blooming. Regular watering is essential during its early years, especially during dry periods.
• POTTED PLANT: This plant ships as a 1-gallon potted plant with soil from the Alabama Gulf Coast. It may not be in bloom upon arrival, depending on the season. Shipping is unavailable to Hawaii and Alaska.
