Description

'Encore' is a true breakthrough in Azalea breeding! Just like other varieties, it has amazingly extravagant clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers, but while other Azalea flower just once in April and May, 'Encore' will also flower a second time in July to September, effectively flowering from spring all the way to autumn!

A real attention-grabber, almost completely covering the plant, set off to perfection by glossy dark evergreen foliage. Making this a gorgeous garden shrub all year round.

  • 'Encore' produces superb white blooms and glossy green foliage
  • 'Autumn Fire' produces blooms in the most striking shade of bright red
  • 'Sunburst' produces simply stunning soft-pink bloom

Happy in sun or light shade and perfect for growing in containers - where they make a striking addition to doorways, terraces, and balconies - but also happy in flower borders. Just the thing for bringing a bold mass of colour to the spring garden, month after month.

Azaleas are easy to care for, needing little maintenance or pruning. Requiring acidic soil, incorporate plenty of ericaceous compost when planting and keep moist.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 8cm pots, ready to plant out.

Top Tips
When watering, try to use rainwater as tap water tends to be too hard and more alkaline.
Care Information
  • Azaleas can tolerate a more open site as long as they are sheltered from cold, drying winds and early morning sunlight.
  • Mulch plants and water deeply and regularly during dryer periods from July onwards.
  • Your azaleas should be planted slightly higher than they were in their pots into well-draining soil.
  • Azaleas need an acidic soil with a pH of around 5.5 in order to thrive - soils with pH higher than 5.5 should be acidified before planting or you can grow these plants in a container with ericaceous compost.
  • When watering, try to use rainwater as tap water tends to be too hard and more alkaline.
  • Plants benefit from a yearly feed, and our Azalea, Rhododendron and Shrub feed is the ideal formulation.
Delivery Information

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
