Encore Azalea 'Autumn Embers'
Rhododendron ‘Conleb’ · a red reblooming azalea
A compact reblooming azalea with deep orange-red, semi-double flowers in spring and again through summer and fall, perfect for foundations and pots. Give it acid, well-drained soil and at least a few hours of direct sun for the best bloom; once settled it handles dry spells. Prune only right after the spring flush.
