Autumn Carnival Encore Azalea

Rhododendron ‘Conlet’ Derived from the Southern Indica and Kurume, this encore hybrid is native to Louisiana. The encores' are the most sun tolerant of the azalea family. The Carnival Encore is part of the small encore azalea class that is a stunner with semi-double blooms twice a year. With eye-catching hot pink petals and dark pink speckles, these beauties make excellent combination designs and work well independently as accents, foundations, or edge ornaments.  The Carnival Encore is compact, known to attract butterflies, and very little pruning is required, deeming this plant a low maintenance variety.  *Deer May Browse* Photos courtesy of our friends at Encore Azaleas TM Ornamental Characteristics Category Flowering Shrub Foliage Type Evergreen Height 3' Spread 3.5' Shape Upright/Rounded Primary Foliage Color Green Seasonal Foliage Color Green Flowering Season Spring and Fall Flower Color Medium Pink Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Mo
