Azalea Autumn Belle

Autumn Belle Encore Azalea

Azalea ‘Autumn Belle’ is a vigorous Encore® evergreen azalea admired for its large, soft pink flowers and reliable reblooming habit. It flowers heavily in spring, then produces additional blooms summer through fall, extending color well beyond the traditional azalea season.

The shrub develops a dense, upright to rounded habit with dark green, glossy evergreen foliage, giving it strong year-round structure. ‘Autumn Belle’ is one of the larger-growing Encore azaleas, making it well suited for use as a focal shrub or informal screen.
