The colors range from pink, white, red and have been known to all be present on the shrub and really pop against the glossy green foliage. Maturing to a low height and width of 2-3 feet, this compact plant will be great for small areas in need of a touch of color. The conversation piece azalea will benefit from a full to partial sun exposure in USDA growing zones 6-9, so it can take some cold (down to 0 degrees once established) as well as some heat for southern states as well. Due to its small stature at maturity the azalea can also be successfully container grown if located in a colder growing zone.

In cooler environments they can take up to 8 hours of direct light. In warmer climates they will need protection from the hot sun, but still need 6 hours of filtered light to bloom properly. Azaleas prefer an acidic, well draining, moist soil. They perform best with a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.5 and you can purchase a test kit at any garden center to verify the acidity of the soil. If your soil is not well draining you can amend it with compost or planting mix which will also help to lower the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (in ground): \u003c\/strong\u003eAzaleas are compact shrubs and need to be spaced about 2 feet to form a hedge, can be used as a centerpiece or a stand alone shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Dig a hole three times as wide and just as deep as the root ball.\u003cbr\u003e 2) Remove the plant from the container and loosen the roots with your fingers so that they spread out once planted.\u003cbr\u003e 3) Backfill the hole with a mixture of your native soil (60%) and compost or garden soil, you can include some coffee grounds while planting to help lower the pH if needed (always test the pH before adding anything to adjust).\u003cbr\u003e 4) Water lightly as you backfill to remove air pockets and water well when done but do not saturate the soil.\u003cbr\u003e 5) Mulch the area with 2-3 inches of mulch to help the plant conserve water and to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (potted): \u003c\/strong\u003eSince these are compact shrubs, they can be kept in a large container as a patio plant.

During the hotter times of the year they will need watered every other day, depending on the weather. Do not allow the roots to be saturated for extended periods of time. Allow the water to seep deeply into the soil to ensure that all of the roots receive water.

In cooler environments, they can take up to 8 hours of direct light. In warmer climates, they will need protection from the hot sun, but still, they need 6 hours of filtered light to bloom properly. Encore® azaleas prefer an acidic, well-draining, moist soil. They perform best with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 and you can purchase a test kit at any garden center to verify the acidity of the soil. If your soil is not well-draining, you can amend it with compost or planting mix which will also help to lower the pH level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (in the ground): \u003c\/strong\u003eEncore® azaleas are compact shrubs and need to be spaced about 2 feet to form a hedge.

You can include some coffee grounds while planting to help lower the pH if needed (always test the soil pH before adding anything to adjust).\u003cbr\u003e4) Water lightly as you backfill to remove air pockets and water well when done but do not saturate the soil.\u003cbr\u003e5) Broadcast 2-3 inches of mulch around the planting site to help conserve soil moisture, keep weeds\/grasses away, and to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (potted): \u003c\/strong\u003eSince these are compact shrubs, they can be kept in a large container as a patio plant. Gradually move the plant into a larger container by repotting every year or so into a slightly larger container. If the soil feels dense along the edges of the pot, that’s a sign that it may be getting root-bound and will need repotting immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Use an acidic soil to fill the bottom of a container that is 2 sizes larger than the container that the plant initially arrived in.\u003cbr\u003e2) Remove the plant from the original container and place it in the center of the new pot.\u003cbr\u003e3) Water the plant thoroughly until the water drains through the bottom. Allow the soil to dry 2-3 inches down before watering again.\u003cbr\u003e4) Place the plant in an area where it gets 4-6 hours of sun, protecting it from hot afternoon sun in warmer climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering (in ground): \u003c\/strong\u003eDuring the first year, your Autumn Debutante\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e will need ample water to get established. During the cooler times of the year, you will only need to water twice a week. Thoroughly water the area making sure that the roots are never in standing water, this can lead to root rot. During the hotter times of the year, they will need to be watered every other day, depending on the weather. Do not allow the roots to be saturated for extended periods of time. Allow the water to seep deeply into the soil to ensure that all of the roots receive water. Encore® azaleas are not considered to be drought-tolerant, so during times of excessive heat, you will need to water even more established plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering (potted): \u003c\/strong\u003eWater your plant thoroughly until water runs through the drainage holes.
