The darkest reblooming azalea on the market
The Encore® Azalea Autumn Velvet® brings an exceptional burst of color to your landscape, showcasing stunning deep red blooms that appear in both spring and fall. This shrub distinguishes itself with its ability to bloom more than once a year, making it a standout choice for those looking to enhance their garden with a vibrant display throughout multiple seasons.

Planting Autumn Velvet® in your yard not only adds visual appeal but also attracts pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds, creating a lively ecosystem. Its adaptability to various soil types and resistance to pests add to its charm, making it a low-maintenance yet rewarding choice for both novice and seasoned gardeners. Picture your outdoor space alive with vivid reds and lush greenery throughout the year—this shrub can turn that vision into reality.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-draining soil and partial sun to full shade. Dig a hole that’s twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place the shrub in the center and backfill with soil, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water deeply but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can harm the roots.
3. Pruning: Light pruning can be done after blooming to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can reduce blooming in the following season.
4. Fertilizing: Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for azaleas. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
