It’s no coincidence that “the most wonderful time of the year” happens during the darkest and coldest days on the calendar. When we slide into December, that’s when we need twinkling lights, joyous colors, and festive sights the most 🎄 Good news for you: Your potted Encore Azaleas can just as easily be adorned with winter holiday décor. We’ve designed 3-holiday looks to inspire your wintery creations. From simple to sassy, these décor ideas are sure to welcome your holiday guests to your special kind of wonderful:
1. Elegant Simplicity. Nothing says winter holidays like a simple red bow. Thankfully, there’s so much variety within this one category: Silk bows add shine; velveteen bows are more muted in their impact; try large or small, long tails or large loops, and one or multiple bows on a single azalea. Encore’s medium- to dark-green leaves will allow the ribbon to pop with color on your porch 🎁
2. Wintery Sophistication. In the same way, you’d uplevel a wreath by adding berries, bows, and bobbles, you can adorn your porch Encore containers with wintery elements. Arrange a few birch logs at the pot’s base or beneath the shrub, layer in some fresh-cut conifer sprigs, and tie in a few pine cones. A string of white twinkle lights woven through the azalea will make the whole arrangement glow with holiday spirits ❄️
3. Sass Factor. Have a little fun with the holidays, and add in some over-the-top Christmas décor. Find some oversized plastic holiday ornaments and playful large candy canes and artfully arrange them at the base of your Encore Azalea pot. A heaping pile of large-bulbed colorful Christmas lights would light up the night, too 🌟
