Finally there is more to an azalea than just a couple of weeks of incredible blooms & only evergreen foliage for the rest of the year... now there are re-blooming azaleas that provide weeks of colour throughout the year. Azalea Encore is unique because after the first flush of spring flowers the shrubs produce new shoots & new flower buds. This new growth ensures you get another flush of flowers during the summer & again in the autumn. Once winter frosts set in the blooming will stop but the evergreen foliage will remain attractive throughout the winter. Use Encore in mixed perennial borders to create large masses of colour, or in large containers as accent specimens (for acidic garden soils or container growing in ericaceous compost).
