Autumn Ruby Encore Azalea

Rhododendron ‘Conler’ 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 Ruby Encore is part of the small encore azalea class that is caressing with single blooms twice a year. Rusty red, these beauties make excellent combination designs and work well independently as accents, foundations, or edge ornaments.  The Ruby 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 2.5' Spread 3' Shape Upright/Rounded Primary Foliage Color Green Seasonal Foliage Color Green Flowering Season Spring and Fall Flower Color Red Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Moderate Sun Preferences 4 - 6 hours full sun and high filtered shad
