The Encore Azalea Autumn Ivory is a delightful re-blooming dwarf-sized variety renowned for its recurrent blossoms, offering a spectacle of color up to three times a year during Spring, Summer, and Fall. This compact shrub matures to a size of 2.5 feet in height and 3 feet in width, making it an ideal choice for various landscaping settings. Its bright white blooms, measuring 2.5 inches, exude elegance against the backdrop of glossy green foliage. Versatile in its application, the Autumn Ivory Azalea thrives when planted in hedges, borders, foundations, container gardens, or as part of mass plantings, enhancing any landscape with its timeless beauty. Encore Azaleas flourish in slightly acidic soils with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 and prefer locations that receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily. During planting, it's recommended to dig a hole twice the width of the plant pot, ensuring the root ball sits slightly above the soil level for optimal growth. Backfill the hole with a blend of well-draining garden soil and native soil to provide a nurturing environment for your new Azalea. To promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms, apply a slow-release slightly acidic fertilizer each Spring.
