Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rhododendron hybrid Encore® 'Autumn Lilac®'
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.
