Add season-long color to your landscape with Azalea × 'Encore® Autumn Sunburst®', a compact, evergreen reblooming azalea prized for its coral-pink flowers with white ruffled edges and repeat bloom from spring into fall. In the garden, you can use it as a foundation accent, a low hedge, or a colorful border plant where its dense habit stays neat and easy to manage.

For best performance, plant in well-drained, acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Give it full sun to part shade; morning sun with some afternoon relief is especially helpful in hotter areas. Keep the root zone evenly moist while the plant establishes, then water deeply during dry spells. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and protects shallow roots; keep mulch a few inches back from the stems.

Fertilize lightly in spring with an azalea/rhododendron fertilizer, and prune only as needed right after the main spring bloom flush to avoid removing developing buds for later cycles. With mature size around 24-36 inches tall and about 36-48 inches wide, this Encore selection fits well in beds and large containers, delivering multi-season bloom with minimal fuss when its basic soil and moisture needs are met.
