Autumn is ablaze in the landscape as trees and shrubs don their finest fall foliage. Meanwhile, Encore Azaleas are blooming their own fiery hues – after all, they have the word ‘autumn’ in their name for a reason. For sizzling fall color, look no further than the brilliant red blooms of Autumn Bonfire®.
Plant Pairing Ideas
Try playing off fall foliage when selecting azaleas for autumn color. Purple blooms like those of Autumn Amethyst® look fabulous against a backdrop of golden foliage such as clethra or witch hazel, while the bi-color blooms of Autumn Chiffon™ shine against the wine-red foliage of oakleaf hydrangea. Azaleas also make perfect partners for other fall native bloomers like asters.
Containers, Decor & More
Don’t limit azaleas to the landscape – they also work great in containers and are perfect for fall decorating. White blooming varieties like Autumn Moonlight® provide a perfect contrast to bright orange pumpkins and gourds. And with evergreen foliage, azaleas make wonderful winter containers, so no need to replant for the holidays. For long-lasting potted plants, check out HortTube's Jim Putnam video on the right way to plant azaleas in containers.
Enjoy the fall bloom season!
