Encore Azalea

About this plant

The Encore Azalea 'Autumn Angel' is a true garden showstopper, offering a spectacular display of white, ruffled flowers with a delicate pink blush. Unlike traditional azaleas, 'Autumn Angel' reblooms consistently from spring through fall, providing continuous color and beauty to your landscape. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it ideal for borders, mass plantings, or as a vibrant accent. This resilient evergreen azalea exhibits excellent cold hardiness and disease resistance, ensuring a healthy and vigorous plant for years to come. Its lustrous, dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the abundant blooms, adding year-round interest to your garden. Whether you're looking to add a touch of classic elegance or a burst of refreshing color, the Encore Azalea 'Autumn Angel' is an exceptional choice for any garden. Its low-maintenance nature and extended bloom period make it a favorite among experienced gardeners and beginners alike.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning; only prune after spring flowering to shape or remove dead/damaged branches. Fertilize in spring with an acid-rich fertilizer for best results.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
