Rich color, generous scale, and year-round polish—Autumn Sangria® Encore Azalea features one of the largest blooms in the Encore® collection and an especially dense growth habit. Its gorgeous dark pink-and-green combination makes an immediate statement, whether you’re showcasing a single shrub as a specimen or repeating plants along the foundation for cohesive curb appeal. With a strong spring flush followed by repeat bloom in summer and fall, Autumn Sangria keeps the color flowing long after traditional azaleas are done.
Growth Habit: Shrub, 4.5ft high by 4ft spread
Native Origin: Southeast North America
Hardiness Zone: 6-10
Environment Needs: Full Sun, Part Sun, 4–6 hours of direct sun; morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal, especially in hotter or reflective sites.
Growth Rate: Moderate
Maintenance: Acidic (pH 5.0–6.0), well-drained, evenly moist. Amend heavy or alkaline soils with organic matter; consider a soil acidifier if needed. Maintain consistent moisture during establishment; deep water in heat or drought, especially before bloom cycles. If shaping is desired, prune right after the spring flush so you preserve buds for summer and fall flowers. In early spring, apply a slow-release, acid-formulating fertilizer for azaleas and rhododendrons; a light post-bloom top-up can support rebloom.
