Care
Encore® Azalea Autumn Starburst Care
Plant in Full Sun to Partial Shade. In warmer climates, afternoon shade can help protect foliage and blooms.
Grow in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Mulch around the base to maintain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, maintain consistent moisture, especially during extended dry periods.
Apply slow release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring.
Lightly prune after the primary spring bloom cycle to maintain shape. Avoid heavy pruning late in the season.
Container Growing: Use a container with drainage holes and acidic potting mix. Container-grown plants require more frequent watering than those planted in the ground. In colder portions of Zone 6, provide winter protection for container-grown plants.
