Autumn Amethyst® Encore® Azalea
The Autumn Amethyst Encore® Azalea is a standout choice for any landscape. It delivers vibrant, deep pinkish-purple blooms throughout the year. This repeat-blooming azalea flourishes in spring, summer, and fall, ensuring continuous color.

Renowned as one of the best Encore Azaleas, the Autumn Amethyst is highly cold-hardy, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in cooler climates. With a medium growth rate, this compact shrub reaches approximately 4 feet in height and width, making it perfect for foundation plantings, borders, and container gardening. Optimal Growing Conditions To ensure the best performance, plant your Encore Azalea in full sun to partial shade, with at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a north- or east-facing location to protect against sudden temperature fluctuations in late fall or early spring.
