Autumn Starburst is a reblooming azalea that brings repeated waves of bicolor blooms to your landscape. With Azalea × 'Encore® Autumn Starburst®', you get coral-pink flowers highlighted with bold white patterning, set against dense, glossy evergreen foliage that stays attractive year-round. Its naturally compact, rounded habit makes it easy to tuck into foundation beds, mixed borders, and patio containers without constant shaping.

Place your plant where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade, or filtered light throughout the day; it can also handle more sun when watered well. For the best flowering and healthiest growth, keep the root zone cool with mulch and maintain consistent moisture, especially during heat. Plant in well-drained, acidic soil and avoid sites that stay soggy after rain.

Mature size is typically 24 to 36 inches tall with a spread around 36 to 48 inches, so give it room to fill in and show off. A light prune right after a major bloom flush can help maintain a neat shape, but heavy pruning is rarely needed. Because it reblooms, you can enjoy color from spring into fall when conditions are right.

Whether you are refreshing a front entry or adding dependable color to a small space, this Encore azalea offers a long season of interest, evergreen structure, and standout bicolor flowers that pair well with other acid-loving shrubs and shade-tolerant perennials.
