Encore® Azaleas flower in Spring, Summer and Autumn. Traditional azaleas are finished after their spring blooms, but Encore® continues to brighten landscapes with striking colours and lush foliage, season after season. They are low maintenance and require no deadheading and little pruning to retain good form. If pruning is desired, execute a single pruning immediately after the spring flush of blooms.They are attractive to pollinators...butterflies love their vibrant colour and funnel shaped blooms.
