A reblooming azalea with a truly romantic look

Autumn Kiss® Encore® Azalea is an excellent choice for homeowners who want an azalea that feels a little more special than the usual pink spring bloomer. Its semi-double flowers show a beautiful two-tone effect, with deeper pink edging and softer pink tones toward the center, giving the plant a layered, almost hand-painted look in the landscape.

Spring flowers are just the beginning

One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose Autumn Kiss® Encore® Azalea is the reblooming performance. It flowers heavily in spring, then returns with additional bloom cycles through summer and fall, giving the landscape much more color than a once-blooming azalea typically offers. That makes it especially valuable where homeowners want longer-lasting impact near entryways, patios, or front beds.

Evergreen foliage keeps the plant useful all year

Even when the shrub is not actively blooming, Autumn Kiss® Encore® Azalea still contributes to the landscape with attractive evergreen foliage and a neat rounded shape. That year-round structure helps borders and foundation beds stay full and polished instead of looking empty between bloom periods.

Compact size makes it easy to use in everyday landscapes

Because Autumn Kiss® stays relatively compact, it fits especially well into foundation plantings, smaller borders, low flowering hedges, and decorative containers. It is a strong option for homeowners who want the color and charm of azaleas without having to dedicate space to a much larger shrub.

Best performance comes with sun, acidic soil, and steady moisture

Autumn Kiss® Encore® Azalea performs best in full sun to part shade with acidic, well-drained soil and even moisture during establishment. Like other Encore azaleas, it benefits from several hours of sun to support stronger reblooming. Deer resistance is sometimes associated with Encore azaleas, but it is best described as relative rather than absolute in areas with heavy browsing pressure.
