Autumn Lilac Encore Azalea

Rhododendron 'Robles' PP22762 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 Lilac Encore is part of the small encore azalea class that is moderate with single blooms twice a year. Lavishly lavender with dark purple specks, these beauties make excellent combination designs and work well independently as accents, foundations, or edge ornaments.  The Lilac 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 Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, NC & our friends at Encore Azaleas TM Ornamental Characteristics Category Flowering Shrub Foliage Type Evergreen Height 3' Spread 3.5' Shape Mounded Primary Foliage Color Green Seasonal Foliage Color Green Flowering Season Spring and Fall Flower Color Lavender Environmental Characteristics Grow
