The Encore Azalea Autumn Bravo (Rhododendron 'Robleza') is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its vivid red blooms that appear in spring, summer, and fall. This azalea's continuous flowering cycle ensures a bright and lively display throughout the growing season. Its compact, bushy form makes it an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, and container gardens. Hardy and easy to care for, Autumn Bravo brings a bold splash of color to any landscape. Unlike many traditional azalea bushes, Encore Azaleas bloom best in full sun, so choose an area of your yard where they can receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight. Autumn Bravo Azalea shrubs work well in foundation plantings or as a low-growing hedge. Be sure to plant your Encore Azaleas in acidic to slightly acidic soil to maximize your bloom yield. Fertilize this red blooming Azalea in the spring with a balanced fertilizer after the threat of the last frost has dissipated and feed once more in the summer to help your Encore Bravo bloom through fall. Encore Azalea is the world's best-selling multi-season blooming azalea. In many areas of the country, Encore Azalea bloom during 3 seasons of the year-spring, summer, and fall. And, for areas of the country where azaleas don't traditionally thrive, such as those in USDA hardiness Zone 6 and 7, you will see a spring or summer bloom, but not a fall bloom before your temperatures drops.
