Bring rich, vibrant color to your landscape with Encore® Azalea Autumn Ruby, a compact, reblooming azalea prized for its bold red flowers and dependable performance. This standout variety produces an impressive display of vivid ruby-red blooms in spring, followed by repeat flowering in summer and fall, delivering multiple seasons of color. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round structure, making it a reliable and attractive addition to any garden. Autumn Ruby is one of the most cold-hardy Encore® Azaleas, making it a great choice for a wide range of climates. Its naturally compact, mounded habit makes it perfect for foundation plantings, borders, and containers, while also working beautifully in mass plantings for a dramatic color effect. Easy to care for and highly adaptable, this azalea offers the beauty of traditional varieties with the added bonus of repeat blooming and improved durability. Encore Azaleas bloom best when given four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. When planting this Azalea dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix slightly acidic garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball half an inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil.
