Enjoy season-long color with Azalea × 'Encore® Autumn Carnation®', a reblooming azalea that delivers ruffled, mid-pink flowers in spring, then repeats in summer and fall for an extended display.

In the landscape it forms a dense, upright-mounding shrub, typically reaching about 48-60 inches tall with a roughly 36-48 inch spread. Its glossy green foliage stays attractive through the warm months and shifts to a richer purple tone as temperatures cool, giving your beds and foundations extra interest beyond bloom time.

Plant it in part shade to full sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal in hotter climates, while slightly more sun can encourage heavier flowering in cooler areas. Provide well-drained, slightly acidic soil and keep moisture even while the plant establishes; a mulch layer helps protect roots and reduce water stress.

Prune only if needed, and do it right after the main spring flush so you do not remove developing buds for later cycles. Use this cultivar as a foundation accent, in mixed shrub borders, or in large containers where you can enjoy its repeat blooms up close.
