Encore azaleas, blooms in spring AND summer, tolerates zone 6!

[babylonsister]

People who adore spring blooming azaleas can now enjoy an explosion of Encore Azalea® color season after season. Each of the 23 Encore varieties begins their performance with the spring flowering season. Once this “first act” of blooming concludes, new shoots begin to grow and set buds. The Encore Azalea's "second act" opens when these buds begin blooming into full flower mid-summer. The curtain drops on this unique bloom season with the onset of cold weather. But, the show goes on. As an "encore," these exceptional azaleas flower again with traditional spring azaleas and the process starts over.

I love azaleas but ones that only bloom in spring disappoint me. Someone's always thinking, aren't they!

2. Thanks

I love azaleas but haven't planted any yet. I didn't want to waste space & money on spring only bloomers. These would be worth it.

3. My very thought! I'm thinking of getting 3 or 4 to plant in the fall. nt
