Rhododendron hybrid 'Robleg' PP15227
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 Autumn Angel is part of the small encore azalea class that is a delight with angelic white blooms twice a year. The Angel is one of the newest additions to the Encore azalea line. Feathery and breathtaking, these beauties make excellent combination designs and work well independently as accents, foundations, or edge ornaments.
The Autumn Angel is compact, known to attract butterflies, and very little pruning is required, deeming this plant a low maintenance variety.
