Rhododendron Encore Patio Trio (Azalea Group)

If you thought Azaleas were just for spring, think again! The Encore series are compact shrubs with big ambitions - flowering not just in spring but again in autumn too – rewarding the smallest spaces with maximum interest. In spring, Rhododendron Encore Patio Trio bursts into an exuberant display of trumpet-shaped blooms followed by a second flush in autumn adding interest just as other plants are beginning to wane. Bushy, semi-evergreen, glossy foliage, provides year-round interest, forming a pleasingly rounded mound that makes a neat subject for containers. In autumn, the leaves often take on deep purple tones, and in cold locations Rhododendron ‘Encore’ will lose some foliage during the winter months, with fresh, glossy leaves taking their place in spring.Perfect for patio pots, balconies, or small borders, this low-maintenance beauty boasts greater cold tolerance than previous reblooming azaleas as well as good resistance to summer heat. An effortless choice for any garden. Height and Spread: 50cm (20in) to 90cm (35in).Rhododendron Encore Patio Trio includes the following varieties:Rhododendron ‘Encore Autumn Fire’ - Rich red flowersRhododendron ‘Encore Pure White’ - Dazzling white bloomsRhododendron ‘Encore Sunburst’ - Soft pink flowers
