Description

In 1998, the release of the first reblooming Encore Azalea changed the Azalea world forever. Since then, over 30 Encore varieties have been released. When provided enough sunlight (6 or more hours per day) all varieties bloom in spring and then repeat summer into fall.

One of if not the most unique and cold hardy of the Encore Azalea selections, Autumn Sunburst produces an abundance of large and showy, 2.5-inch diameter blooms with coral to salmon pink centers that burst out to white ruffled edges in spring, summer, and fall against a backdrop of deep green, evergreen foliage. Butterflies love the flowers and blooming branches can be cut for use to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 3 feet tall and 3.5 feet wide, Autumn Sunburst Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, mid-size hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Its unusually attractive flowers make it a fine selection for growing in large containers and pots, which can be strategically placed to dress up decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. Because they like sun to part shade, Encores do quite well under tall trees and in woodland borders.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedge; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Encore Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

We’ve been growing Encore Azaleas in our gardens since they were first released in the 1990’s and can say with confidence that when planted right, and in the right spot, Encore Azaleas are among the easiest azaleas easy to grow.

Soil: When planted in the ground, Encore Azaleas adapt well to most soil types. In general, like all other azaleas, the Encores prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. Constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas. Heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils are best amended with organic matter or other soil amendments to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and/or moisture retention.

In containers, a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil is suggested. Make sure the pot has a hole(s) in the bottom that allow for sufficient drainage. As mentioned above, Encore Azaleas do not like a constantly soggy soil.

Sun: Encore Azaleas will grow in sun or part shade. For best flowering and reblooming, we recommend at least 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay. In regions that experience very hot summers with intense sunlight, Encore Azaleas might appreciate a break from direct sun during the mid afternoon hours.

I’m excited for this to bloom- it arrived in great condition and well packaged. It seems to be settling in well—————————————————Thanks for the awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I wanted to compliment you on how well my azaleas were packaged. They were protected well in shipping and although I thought I would never get them out I appreciated the fact that they were so well packaged. Each plant was individually protected from the others that were in the box, they were secured in their own little spot, the top of the pot was provided with moist paper on the soil and on top not bruised and mangled and that was a concern of mine since ordering for the first time something as fragile as a bush. I appreciate your hard work and I appreciate the beautiful garden that I’m going to have thank you—————————————–You’re welcome! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I received my plants today and I’m extremely happy with them. They were so well packed and arrived in perfect condition and within the time period they promised. I’ve ordered plants from other places before and I wasn’t happy at all because they weren’t packed well and some were almost dead upon arrival. I’ll definitely buy my plants from Wilson Brothers Gardens from now on and will let my family and friends know this is the place to go when you want to buy great plants and be completely satisfied. Thank you for your great service.—————————————————WOW! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

This was the first order we placed from Wilson Bros and we were not disappointed. We’ve had a very mild winter in Virginia this year. We went ahead and ordered this in February since our ground hasn’t frozen and we’ve been redoing our foundation plantings already. The plant was packaged securely and arrived with no damage. FedEx shipping was fast and they seemed to handle it with much care. The azalea arrived with its winter color as expected, but in a matter of days it greened right up in my garden. It seems very happy and I can’t wait to see it bloom.—————————————————Thanks so much for the photos.We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Hi Folks,
Plants arrived in good condition and were planted within an hour. However, I want to make you aware that FedEx delivered the plants to 527 Tidewater Chase Lane NOT my address of 522 Tidewater. Fortunately the residents at 527 were home and brought them over on a two wheeler.
Best Regards.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Your selections were great. And high five to the folks who delivered it to the right address! There’s still good people in the world:-) Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I’ve ordered perennials, shrubs and various other gifts of nature from so many online nurseries – sometimes attracted by an unusually low price or flashy websites. However with experience comes better judgement. I just discovered Wilson Bros Gardens and really liked their biography about the business. This azalea was a solid price and was a superb, healthy and vigorous specimen, well packaged with still moist soil. I couldn’t be more pleased. The same applies to a 2nd azalea I ordered. For fellow gardening enthusiasts, follow your instincts – with Wilson Bros you have found a nursery that will provide great products for your landscaping dreams.———————————–Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

Beautiful right out of box, not travel-weary and cramped like other nurseries send.—————————————Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

Plants arrived on time. The packaging kept the plants protected and healthy. Have been planted for several weeks and are thriving.. would definitely buy plants from your company again.—————————————–Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG

Ordered 7 One Gallon Encore Azaleas in different colors. They were packaged very well and arrived with no damage at all. These one gallon plants were nice and full, as good or better than you’d find at a local garden store and much better than any big box store. I very much like the one gallon version as the root ball is a modest size so planting them is not a major project, especially when you have hard native solid as I do.

These are the healthiest plants I have received so far. Lush green leaves and a full bushy plant. Wish I had ordered more!————————-Hi TJ, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Autumn Sunburst Encore Azalea.

This is my first time purchasing from Wilson Brother; I found the the description of the Azaleas and planting instructions excellent. The Azaleas were shipped in a sturdy box to protect the plant. Shipping was almost immediate. I would highly recommend Wilson Bros. ——— WBG Reply: HiLadonna – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review and for all the compliments! Makes everything we do even more worth the while. Glad to hear you found the description and planting instructions helpful. We put A LOT of work into those, and all the information is based on our own hands-on experience in the field since the early 1980’s. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens

The plants were well packaged with very little damage when received. They seem to be healthy and don’t show any signs of shock after being planted. They are not in bloom at the moment so I can’t truly complete a final review until the colors are actually confirmed to be what was ordered. So far..so good though. ———– WBG RESPONSE: Hi Mark – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide a review. If the past means anything then your Encore Azaleas have about a 99.99999% chance of being to to variety and color:-) I can’t remember the last time there was a mix-up. That said, if by chance any of yours aren’t true to variety just let us know and we’ll ship a replacement out right away. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with.
