Repeat a few plants for rhythm in a long border, or let one specimen serve as a focal point.

Growing and Care Tips
Provide Full Sun and well-drained soil. Autumn Lily Encore Azalea prefers USDA Hardiness Zones 6–10. Water thoroughly after planting, then check moisture regularly while the roots establish. Mulch helps retain moisture, but leave a little space around the main stems. Keep roots cool with mulch and avoid letting the root zone dry out completely during hot weather. During hot or dry periods, monitor the soil rather than watering by a fixed calendar. Once established, adjust watering to rainfall and the needs of your site. Remove damaged branches with clean pruners and avoid unnecessary heavy pruning.
