Encore Azaleas have a nice evergreen leaf and look great even when they’re not blooming. When they do bloom in the spring, summer, and fall, they are gorgeous. Encore Azaleas come in about 20 different colors: mostly pinks, reds, oranges, purples and whites. My favorites are the Monarchs and Royalty.
Encore Azaleas are easy to care for. The key to healthy Encore Azaleas is proper soil, environment, watering and fertilizing. When I plant Encores I always use peat moss which retains water well and is ideal for the plant. Azaleas are also an acid loving plant, so they need the proper fertilizer. You can actually buy fertilizers made specifically for Azaleas.


kind where the bloom unfurls when you put it in hot water), and I think it's jasmine tea. I believe these pink flowers came with that tea. Does anyone know what the pink flowers are called? I have them labeled as jasmine blossoms but I'm not at all sure that's accurate. Thanks!
