The Autumn Majesty Encore Azalea promises to bring bounties of beautiful blooms to your landscape! The Autumn Majesty produces rich semi-double, purple blooms that have a delicately ruffled appearance to them. Blooms first appear in the spring in an impressive display. Afterward, this Encore Azalea will continue the show by reblooming in summer and fall.
The eye-catching purple azalea blossoms rest atop vivid green foliage. New growth emerges a bright green before maturing to a deep green.
The Autumn Majesty Encore Azalea is a compact-sized Encore Azalea and reaches a mature size of 3' H x 3' W.
Try this purple blooming azalea as a foundation planting, accent, border, hedge, or container plant. However you use it, you really can't go wrong!
This variety is naturally compact, with a rounded growth habit. Therefore, pruning is traditionally unnecessary with this low-maintenance variety.
Hardy from USDA Zones 6-10. Furthermore, the Autumn Majesty is one of the most cold-hardy Azaleas around and is capable of surviving down to -5° F when established.
Provide 4-6 hours of sun daily for proper blooming. The morning sun is preferable, as intense afternoon sun can stress the plant. Less than 4 hours of sun can result in decreased blooms and less dense foliage.
The Autumn Majesty Encore Azalea, like most azaleas, prefers slightly acidic, rich soil with good drainage.
Water regularly for the first growing season, 2-3 times per week in average weather conditions. During the second growing season, water 1-2 times per week. This will help your Encore Majesty to produce deep roots which will help ensure its success in the long run.
Fertilize in early spring with balanced, acidic plant fertilizer. Reapply fertilizer again in early summer to promote faster plant growth.
For a seamless planting, plant your Autumn Majesty Encore Azalea 3 feet apart. Alternatively, space them 4+ feet apart for gaps between plants.

The Autumn Majesty azalea arrived in perfect condition despite rough handling in the shipping process. I am very pleased and look forward to siting this azalea in my garden and seeing the blooms sometime in the future. This experience with Plants by Mail gives me confidence to order again from this supplier.

I was pleasantly surprised. 2 gallon azaleas arrived completely intact. The plants are full, healthy and were extremely well packaged. These are hard to find in garden centers so I took a chance.

Purchased three plants and the two smaller ones, red and pink are doing great ! The bigger one which is purple looks like it’s dying. So disappointed because I love Azaleas

2 aren't surviving. Customer service states that it's our fault, but the other 4 in the exact same area are doing well. They won't replace so we're stuck. I would use caution when ordering because you only have 30 days to report an issue for any replacement.
Team PBM –
Yes, we do have a 30 plant warrantee policy. It is incumbent upon the customer to provide care for their plants after receipt.

Super fresh azaleas. Perked up with new leaves 2 days after planting. Very happy.

All of my Autumn Majesty Azaleas came nicely packaged. They were smaller than I expected, I got the 2 gal., I was hoping they were larger, they looked more like 1 gal. plants, but, they were healthy. FedEx delivered a few boxes that were crushed on the sides, a few broken branches, but, overall they were ok. They are all planted and doing well! Can't wait for them to grow and blossom.

My bushes came in very healthy and green! I mixed in well composted Black Cow brand cow manure to the dirt and fine ground egg shells to the dirt. My bushes look like they have already grown several inches! Love my bushes! Anxiously waiting on them to bloom!

Autumn Majesty arrrived very healthy and much bigger than I expected. Was happy to be able to order these as they tend to be bought up fast and even though I live near a big city I'm not able to find these anyplace local. Will try to find a special spot for this one it should be beautiful. Plants were packed nicely in some pine bark soil and well protected even thought the boxes had been a little crushed in delivery.

I was very happy with my plant. It was very healthy and the packaging of the plant was quite impressive

I have always been very happy with the plants I have recieved from Plants By Mail. Everything has been very healthy, however my most recient order, these Azaleas, while they look very healthy, the potting medium is TERRIBLE!! I had to use a large screwdriver just to get it loosened up a little so that I could free some of the roots.

I ordered 24 (one gallon) Autumn Majesty. I received 4 boxes of 4. All of these were packed just fine. Federal Express lost two boxes but did deliver 2 days later. I was expecting them to be half dead and all dried out. To my surprised, they were absolutely perfect. The soil was still moist. I can’t wait until these bloom.

Would love this plant

These Autumn Majesty Azaleas were very disappointing. Three arrived packed in the vented boxes just like the many others I have purchased. All seven had been pruned with bare twigs, some dead twigs, and not full and lush. Four of them arrived in a box with no vent holes, on their sides, very dried out and with black spots on the leaves. Customer service was quick to respond saying they have added a new 4 pack box because of providing free shipping and increased shipping costs they as a business must be finacially responsible. They did say from the pictures I sent the plants looked healthy to just prune off the spotted foilage and that they will do well when planted and cared for as required. We will follow their advice and hope that they will do well. Customer service had refunded money recently on two different Encore Azaleas which we had issues with and had asked to have replaced with a different variety. We will think twice about ordering more plants from them because of their new shipping method.
Team PBM –
Good morning again Ms Suppo. I am sorry to hear again that you have an issue with our 4 pack box. After reviewing your plants I saw no concern that would make a replacement or refund necessary, as I had done so with your other orders. I saw none of the things you described in your review. I hope you have a blessed day. - Christy

I was lucky enough to purchase 5 of the new Autumn Majesty Encore Azaleas in the 1 gallon size when they became available. I believe these are going to be a very popular variety. This azalea looks amazing. All 5 azaleas had beautiful purple blooms when they arrived. I look forward to enjoying them as they grow!
