Autumn Coral Encore Azalea

Regular price $35.00 Sale

Rhododendron ‘Conled’

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 Coral Encore is part of the small encore azalea class that is a pastel delight with ruffled single blooms twice a year. Peachy-pink with magenta speckles, these beauties make excellent combination designs and work well independently as accents, foundations, or edge ornaments. 

The Coral Encore is a compact heavy bloomer, known to attract butterflies, and very little pruning is required, deeming this plant a low maintenance variety.
