Planting Tips:
Ensure the Encore Embers Azalea thrives by planting it in well-draining, acidic soil. Choose a location with partial shade to protect it from harsh afternoon sun, especially in warmer climates.
Watering:
Adequate watering is crucial, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Use our MOISTURE MAXX non-ionic wetting agent all year or during times of drought for extended help keeping your plants well hydrated for up to 40 days.
Mulching:
Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as pine straw or bark chips, around the base of the plant. Mulching not only conserves moisture but also suppresses weeds and regulates soil temperature.
Pruning:
Light pruning after the spring bloom encourages a bushier growth habit and promotes a more robust fall flowering. However, avoid heavy pruning, as Encore Azaleas bloom on both old and new wood.
Fertilizing:
Feed your Encore Embers Azalea with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like our SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer in spring after the first flush of blooms and again in late spring or early summer. This ensures the plant has the nutrients it needs for the subsequent fall bloom.
