Autumn Twist™ Encore® Azalea Care

Plant high to promote good drainage. Don’t allow the soil to become dry until established. Azaleas perform best in acidic soil, which can be amended with chelated iron if necessary. Prune only to shape after the first bloom period in spring. Fertilize in late winter or early spring to give the upcoming blooms a boost.

Autumn Twist™ Encore® Azalea Spacing

When establishing a hedge, plant 4’ apart, center to center. Plant 5’ to 6 ‘ apart, center to center, in the shrub border or as foundation plantings.
