Bring extended color to your landscape with Azalea × 'Encore® Autumn Bravo®' (Encore Azalea 'Encore® Autumn Bravo®'), a reblooming evergreen azalea selected for repeat flushes of orange-red to red flowers from spring into fall. You get a dense, mounded shrub that typically matures around 36-48 inches tall and roughly 48-60 inches wide, making it an easy fit for foundations, mixed borders, and feature plantings where you want long-lasting impact.

For best performance, plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Set the root ball a touch high, water deeply to settle in, and keep moisture even during the first growing season. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps maintain consistent soil moisture and moderates temperature swings, but keep mulch pulled back from the stems to prevent issues at the base.

Light is flexible: give it full sun to part shade. In hotter climates, a bit of afternoon shade can reduce stress while still supporting strong bloom cycles. If you are aiming for the most flowers, prioritize brighter sites with at least several hours of direct sun and good air circulation. Protect plants from harsh winter winds, and avoid sites that stay soggy after rain.

Care is simple. Feed in early spring with a fertilizer formulated for azaleas or acid-loving shrubs, and prune only if needed right after the main spring bloom so you do not remove developing buds for later cycles. Water during dry spells, especially when buds are forming, and keep the planting area weeded and mulched for a clean, finished look year-round.
