Encore Azalea Autumn Kiss 1 Gal. - Evergreen Pink Blooms, Spring to Reblooms

Overview

The Encore Azalea Autumn Kiss is a versatile 1-gallon shrub that adds lasting color to landscapes. Its three-inch, ruffled, semi-double blooms emerge white to light pink with bright pink edging, delivering a delicate, eye-catching display. The plant's compact, upright habit suits beds, borders, foundations, or decorative containers, making it easy to integrate into many spaces.
