Description
In 1998, the release of the first reblooming Encore Azalea changed the Azalea world forever. Since then, over 30 Encore varieties have been released. When provided enough sunlight (6 or more hours per day) all varieties bloom in spring and then repeat summer into fall.Â
One of the most cold hardy Encore Azaleas in the series, Autumn Ruby is a dwarf selection that produces LOADS of vibrant reddish-pink flowers in spring, summer, and fall against a backdrop of deep green evergreen foliage. The flowers are 1.25 inch wide but what they lack in size they make up for in number, creating a massive explosion of stunning color in the landscape!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 2.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Autumn Ruby Encore Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Its smaller size makes it one of the best selections for growing in containers and pots, which can be strategically placed to dress up decks, patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. Because they like sun to part shade, Encores do quite well under tall trees and in woodland borders. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.
Suggested Spacing:Â 2.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Encore Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
We’ve been growing Encore Azaleas in our gardens since they were first released in the 1990’s and can say with confidence that when planted right, and in the right spot, Encore Azaleas are among the easiest azaleas easy to grow.Â
Soil:Â When planted in the ground, Encore Azaleas adapt well to most soil types. In general, like all other azaleas, the Encores prefer an organically rich, moist but well-drained acidic soil. Constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for azaleas. Heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils are best amended with organic matter or other soil amendments to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and/or moisture retention.Â
In containers, a 50/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil is suggested. Make sure the pot has a hole(s) in the bottom that allow for sufficient drainage. As mentioned above, Encore Azaleas do not like a constantly soggy soil.
Sun:Â Encore Azaleas will grow in sun or part shade. For best flowering and reblooming, we recommend at least 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. All-day lightly filtered sun, such as under tall trees, is okay. In regions that experience very hot summers with intense sunlight, Encore Azaleas might appreciate a break from direct sun during the mid afternoon hours.

Another delightful delivery by Wilson’s, I received my encore azalea in wonderful condition, and a very nice large size being a 3 gallon pot. I was anxious to get it into the ground and growing, I always know I can depend on Wilsons to send me a healthy plant with no worries or disappointments that I can go ahead and get right in the ground. Thank You Wilsons!———————————————————–You’re welcome! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I didn’t purchase the Autumn Ruby Encore Azalea until after the first bloom, so I am hoping that I will catch a 2nd bloom in late summer/early autumn. It is the perfect size for its location, and it arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Thank you..———————————————You’re welcome!

We bought this plant for a friend as a gift.. It was delivered promptly and well packaged, and she loved it. I would definitely purchase from Wilson Brothers again.————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope she enjoys it for years to come!

I ordered two of these azaleas along with a third one of another type. They came securely packed, with no breakage. I have them all in the ground now. and look forward to them blooming.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
I just had to drop you a note to tell you how absolutely ecstatic I am with my Encore Azaleas. I have placed 3 orders with you and my first order, containing 2 of the azaleas, has just arrived.
The plants are in perfect condition! They are larger than I expected and I am absolutely thrilled!
I can hardly wait for the next two orders.
Living here in So. Florida (Delray Beach) I could not find a nursery that had azaleas suitable for this climate. I did some research and decided to give your nursery a try. The fact that you are located in Georgia helped me to feel comfortable ordering plants that your website said would do well in my location.
I live in a massive, 600 unit, Senior 55+ villa complex and none of my neighbors have azaleas. I will be the envy of hundreds! LOL…Thank you and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

I’ve ordered a number of azaleas and other shrubs and have been satisfied each time – shipping is prompt, plants are securely packaged and in very good condition on arrival. The shrubs I’ve purchased have been really good specimens – looking vigorous, well hydrated and have not needed much transition time to get in the ground. When I order from Wilson Bros I know I will get a healthy and well care for plant ready to thrive in my garden. A no-brainer!————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The Azalea arrived in good shape and is thriving. I love Wilson Bro. Nursery!——————————–Thanks for the kind words!! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
I came across Wilson Bros kind of by accident after a Home Depot order failed to arrive. I found Wilson Bros’ selection to be wonderful and I had a hard time deciding what I ultimately wanted. I eventually decided on the Autumn Ruby and they are lovely. They arrived quickly and packaged impeccably. I do not have a green thumb, but so far, they look happy and healthy in our back yard. Can’t wait to see how they look this fall!———————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Ordered 7 One Gallon Encore Azaleas in different colors. They were packaged very well and arrived with no damage at all. These one gallon plants were nice and full, as good or better than you’d find at a local garden store and much better than any big box store. I very much like the one gallon version as the root ball is a modest size so planting them is not a major project, especially when you have hard native solid as I do.
We loss two azaleas that were poorly planted and searched everywhere to find replacements. These were a perfect match to complete our landscaping. Awesome packaging and fast shipping. Thanks Wilson Brothers!———————We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
I’ve gotten several shipments from Wilson Bro’s, this was the first one that arrived less than perfect because Fedex delayed the shipping an additional three days (10 days total). Wilson Bro’s was extremely responsive and got me a replacement right away, which arrived in great shape. They’re easy to deal with, have a good selection at reasonable prices, and are very responsive and helpful. Thanks, Team Wilson!——————————–We hate that there was problem, but we are glad you are pleased, thanks for the nice review! Beth | WBG
Very impressed with the quality of these plants. Arrived in perfect condition (kudos to the shipping dept.) . Planted several weeks ago in our southern coastal location where azaleas thrive. Looking forward to seeing how they perform in the spring. ———————— WBG Reply: Thanks so much for your review of the Autumn Ruby Encore Azaleas and for the compliments on the quality and packaging. I’ll be sure to let the folks in the shipping department know. Hope you enjoy these beautiful azaleas for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can do for you. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
