Additional Information about Rhododendron hybrid Encore® 'Autumn Sweetheart®'
Autumn Sweetheart offers two shades of color. The pink flowers are so soft they sometimes appear almost white. Dotted with lavender freckles, the tantalizing blooms provide the perfect contrast to the rich evergreen foliage.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rhododendron hybrid Encore® 'Autumn Sweetheart®'
If you think your Encore® Azalea needs pruning, do so immediately after the spring flowering for maximum bud set. Light pruning of more established plants will stimulate growth and flowering. Prune tall shoots back inside the body of the plant.
