Plant Encore Azalea 'Encore® Autumn Majesty®' (Azalea × 'Encore® Autumn Majesty®') where you can enjoy its repeated waves of rich purple color. You will get the best rebloom and the healthiest foliage with 4-6 hours of direct light, ideally morning sun and a little afternoon shade in hotter areas. This compact, rounded evergreen shrub stays neat through the seasons and brings dependable structure to beds, borders, and foundation plantings.

At maturity, expect a plant about 24-36 inches tall with a similar spread (often around 24-36 inches). Use it as a low hedge, an accent near entries, or a mass planting to create a long season of bloom. The ruffled, semi-double flowers typically appear heavily in spring and then return in cycles through summer and into fall, so you have color long after many traditional azaleas finish.

Give your azalea an acidic, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist, especially while it is establishing. Keep mulch over the root zone to help hold moisture and moderate soil temperatures, but leave a small gap around the stems. Water deeply during dry spells, and avoid letting the root ball dry out completely during warm weather.

Prune only if needed, and do it soon after the main spring flush so you do not remove developing buds for later blooms. Feed with an acid-forming fertilizer labeled for azaleas and rhododendrons in early spring, and follow label directions for any light midseason feeding that supports rebloom.
