The Autumn Monarch is an Encore® Azalea that produces a abundant display of orange-pink blooms with a splash of darker red-orange freckles down the throat in spring summer and fall. The beautiful blooms contrast nicely against the dark lustrous green foliage. This Azalea is cold hardy down to USDA zone 6b. Encore® Azaleas are known for their ability to tolerate full sun better than traditional azaleas, so make sure to plant them in a location that will receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight, with some shade during the afternoon heat. Autumn Monarch is great for planting in the landscape or in container gardens and will perform best in slightly acidic well-drained garden soil. Apply a slow release granular fertilizer in Spring.
For a seamless planting, plant your plants 3 feet apart. Alternatively, space them 4+ feet for gaps between plants.

I received my Autumn Monarch azalea a few weeks ago and it is gorgeous! It’s blooming again already. The folks at this nursery do a wonderful job taking care of the plants. The Encore azaleas are my new-found garden love!

Very happy with how plants were packaged snugly in individual boxes that breathe and were easy to grip and carry or move! Also all 15 of the azaleas we ordered were in perfect condition! Leaves nice and green, no dead leaves, and not dried out! Ready to plant and grow

I purchased the dwarf Autumn Fire azaleas two weeks ago. When they arrived, I was so pleased I redesigned the entire garden to accommodate more azaleas and order the medium size Autumn Monarch azaleas and they are lovely.
