Two new Encore Azaleas, Autumn Majesty and Autumn Starburst, join the lineup of reblooming azaleas with new flower colors.
The bicolor blossoms of Autumn Starburst feature a star-shaped coral-pink center edged in pure white. The bold blooms shine against dark green foliage.
Autumn Majesty produces masses of petite, purple blooms throughout the season. The semi-double flowers are packed with layers of petals for a ruffled appearance. Clean foliage stays bright green all year long.
Developed by Robert "Buddy" Lee, inventor of Encore Azaleas, both varieties were selected for their compact form, attractive foliage and cold hardiness. Reaching only 3' tall by 3' wide, these dwarf varieties take up less space in production and require little to no pruning.
Autumn Majesty and Autumn Starburst are among the more cold-hardy Encore Azaleas, thriving in USDA Zone 6A and above. Like all Encore Azaleas, they flower profusely in spring, with repeat blooming throughout the summer and fall.
