Autumn Twist Encore Azalea – Reblooming Evergreen Azalea Shrub

The Autumn Twist® Encore® Azalea is a stunning reblooming evergreen shrub that brings color to your landscape far beyond spring. Its unique blooms feature lavender-purple petals edged in white with darker purple freckles, creating a dramatic, eye-catching display.

Unlike traditional azaleas, this Encore® variety blooms three seasons a year—spring, summer, and fall—giving you long-lasting beauty with minimal effort. The dark green, evergreen foliage provides year-round structure, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, borders, containers, or accent shrubs.

Compact and easy to maintain, Autumn Twist® performs beautifully in full sun to partial shade and thrives in acidic, well-drained soil. It’s also heat tolerant and well-suited for Southern landscapes.
