Reblooming 

Encore Azaleas

Evergreen Azaleas that bloom in spring and fall!

Encore Azaleas are a valuable and useful series of evergreen, reblooming, sun tolerant, compact cultivars bred to bloom in spring and then rebloom again in late summer and fall. Over the last number of years we have been impressed with their performance, their attractive foliage and form, and their beautiful flowers in a wide range of colours. Our customers who have grown them have also been impressed and love their Encores.

Encore Azaleas come in a range of colours including white, pinks, reds, lavenders, and bicolours. Some of single flowers while others are semi-double. They also come in a range of sizes. Some top off at two feet while others will reach three or four feet tall. They also offer attractive compact habits that won’t require pruning.

Encore Azaleas are great in containers either on their own or in combination with other shrubs or perennials. They are hardy to zone 6 or 7, depending on the cultivar, making them widely useful in coastal BC.

We currently have 19 cultivars available. Come take a look and consider them for your containers and garden beds.
