Description

In 1998, the release of the first reblooming Encore Azalea changed the Azalea world forever. Since then, over 30 Encore varieties have been released. When provided enough sunlight (6 or more hours per day) all varieties bloom in spring and then repeat summer into fall.

One of if not the most popular of the Encore Azalea Series, and the most cold hardy, Autumn Twist produces an abundance of very large and eye-catching 3 to 3.5-inch diameter white blooms with purple stripes and freckles on the petals in spring, summer, and fall against dark green foliage. The large arrow-shaped leaves are very similar in appearance to the ‘Formosa’ Southern Indica Azalea. Looks great planted with Autumn Royalty Encore Azalea. Butterflies love the flowers and blooming branches can be cut for use to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, Autumn Twist Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, mid-size hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It is also a fine selection for growing in large containers and pots, which can be strategically placed to dress up decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. Because they like sun to part shade, Encores do quite well under tall trees and in woodland borders.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b, where this Encore Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

We’ve been growing Encore Azaleas in our gardens since they were first released in the 1990’s and can say with confidence that when planted right, and in the right spot, Encore Azaleas are among the easiest azaleas easy to grow.

Soil: When planted in the ground, Encore Azaleas adapt well to most soil types. In general, like all other azaleas, the Encores prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. Constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas. Heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils are best amended with organic matter or other soil amendments to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and/or moisture retention.

In containers, a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil is suggested. Make sure the pot has a hole(s) in the bottom that allow for sufficient drainage. As mentioned above, Encore Azaleas do not like a constantly soggy soil.

Sun: Encore Azaleas will grow in sun or part shade. For best flowering and reblooming, we recommend at least 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay. In regions that experience very hot summers with intense sunlight, Encore Azaleas might appreciate a break from direct sun during the mid afternoon hours.

Azaleas (6 pack) arrived PERFECTLY, and the Plants were Spectacular. I was curious how the “6-pack” would arrive, not a single issue. I will be ordering more…Thanks for the superior plants and professional packaging! 5 Stars +++————————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Several months ago I was searching for a particular plant which brought me to Wilson Bros. I am not tech savvy but the website was excellent. Extremely easy, fast, answered all of my questions, and has a wonderful system. If the product is sold out, they email you to let you know that they now have it in stock. Delivery is fast, always packed carefully. I have never had a plant that was not perfect when I opened the box. I literally have spent thousands of dollars with Wilson bros and I will continue to do so. I have only called the company once, and they answered my question, were extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk with. Pricing was great, no more Home Depot or Lowe’s. I have 25 acres in Odessa Florida with a gazillion Wilson Bros plants and this is the only company that I will purchase plants from.————————————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchases! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Plants arrived quickly and healthy. I have had these before at another home. They make a nice screen about 4-5″ tall year round after about 5 to 10 years. They flower the most in the spring and fall with cooler temperatures, the flowering drops off as the temperatures increase. note on rating, I normally rate things at a 3 (average) and go up or down if the product/service differs from average or “as expected”. If everyone is a “5” then no one can be “above average” but rather only “below average”.—————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
