▫️Sunlight – Encore Azaleas bloom best with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. Their ideal placement is in the morning light and afternoon shade with protection from the intense afternoon sun.
▫️Soil – Encore Azaleas prefer well-drained, acidic soil with a pH in the range of 5.5-6.0. Lower your pH with sulfur and raise your pH with lime.
▫️Pruning – Encore Azaleas require very little pruning to retain their binge-worthy blooms. If you think your Encore Azalea needs pruning, do so immediately after the spring flowering for the next maximum bud set. Light pruning of more established plants will stimulate growth and blooms.
