Encore® Azaleas

Encore azaleas are a unique group of flowering shrubs known for their ability to bloom multiple times a year, unlike traditional azaleas that flower only in spring. Developed through selective breeding, Encore azaleas typically bloom in spring, again in summer, and then produce a final burst of flowers in the fall. These evergreen shrubs come in a wide range of colors—from deep reds and vibrant pinks to pure whites and soft lavenders—making them a popular choice for adding long-lasting color to gardens and landscapes.

In addition to their extended blooming season, Encore azaleas are valued for their adaptability and ease of care. They thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefer full sun to partial shade, which helps encourage strong growth and continuous flowering. With over 30 varieties available, gardeners can choose from compact types suitable for borders and containers to larger forms ideal for hedges or foundation plantings. Their year-round foliage and repeat blooming make Encore azaleas a versatile and attractive addition to both formal and casual garden designs.
