Rhododendron Conler

Autumn Ruby Encore Azalea

Autumn Ruby, the Encore azalea cultivar Conler, is a small, rounded evergreen shrub with glossy dark green leaves and single ruby-red flowers. Spring flowering can be followed by further blooms in summer and fall.

Its compact size fits containers, low borders and small garden accents. Use acidic, well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Morning sun with afternoon shade is useful in hot climates; adequate light supports reblooming.
