Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rhododendron hybrid Encore® 'Autumn Fire®'
This selection prefers a little afternoon shade and low water.
If you think your Encore® Azalea needs pruning, do so immediately after the spring flowering for maximum bud set. Light pruning of more established plants will stimulate growth and flowering. Prune tall shoots back inside the body of the plant.
