"Autumn Embers" is one of the few select members of the gorgeous Encore Azalea series, all of which are prized for blooming in three separate season; Spring, Summer, and Autumn! These elegant double-blossoms boast a deep-red, almost scarlet, shade which clashes wonderfully against the dark evergreen foliage enjoyed all year long. "Autumn Embers" adds a splash of color and depth to all landscapes and is perfect for single plantings, row plantings, and mass plantings as a hedge.
"Autumn Embers" Encore Azalea is ideal for small gardens and urban plantings near sidewalks since it's even more compact than most Azaleas, reaching a height between two and three feet, with an equal spread of also two to three feet. Another great feature of all Azaleas in general is that they can be kept even smaller if desired with regular pruning!
Your "Autumn Embers" Encore Azalea will grow best in USDA zones 6 through 10, which means that these shrubs can withstand temperatures down to -10° F! Bright-colored luxurious double-blossoms combined with wide adaptability have made"Autumn Embers" a popular choice with professional landscapers and homeowners alike!
