Autumn Angel®

Meet the luminous rebloomer that brightens every corner of the landscape. Autumn Angel® Encore Azalea opens pure white flowers that can look almost iridescent in the morning light. Paired with glossy, deep-green foliage, this white azalea delivers a clean, elegant effect from spring through fall—and remains a refined evergreen presence in winter.

Why you’ll love it

• Brilliant blooms: Crisp, snow-white petals read clearly from a distance and glow up close—ideal for high-visibility spots.
• Reliable rebloom: A strong spring show followed by repeat flushes into fall keeps color in the garden far beyond “azalea season.”
• Year-round polish: Dense, evergreen foliage provides structure even when not in flower.
• Design versatile: The restrained habit suits borders, foundation plantings, and containers.

Looking specifically for a white Encore Azalea? Autumn Angel is a standout choice among white azaleas thanks to its luminous flowers and repeat-blooming performance.

Color & bloom

The blossoms are a true, pure white—no blush or speckling—creating a bright contrast against the shrub’s deep-green leaves. Expect a heavy spring display, then additional flushes in summer and fall as conditions allow. In morning or dappled light, flowers appear softly radiant, giving beds and borders a serene, “lit-from-within” quality.

Design ideas

• Front entry glow: Flank a walkway or porch with pairs of Autumn Angel Encore Azalea for a welcoming, all-season focal point.
• Moon garden magic: Combine with silver grasses, white hydrangeas, and pale hostas for nighttime sparkle.
• Contrast plantings: Set against dark evergreens or brick to emphasize the blooms’ clarity.
• Container chic: Pot near patios where repeat flowering can be enjoyed up close.

Where it thrives

• Light: Best with 4–6 hours of direct sun, ideally morning sun with afternoon shade—especially in hotter climates.
• Soil: Acidic (pH ~5.0–6.0), well-drained, consistently moist but never soggy. Amend alkaline or heavy soils with organic matter and a soil acidifier.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during establishment; water deeply during dry spells, particularly ahead of bloom cycles.
• Climate: Broadly adaptable; provide wind protection and mulch in colder zones to support year-round appearance.

Planting & care

1. Plant high: Set the root ball slightly above grade to prevent waterlogging.
2. Backfill & mulch: Use amended native soil; mulch 2–3" deep, keeping mulch a couple of inches from stems.
3. Feed lightly: In early spring, apply a slow-release, acid-formulating fertilizer for azaleas/rhododendrons; a light touch after the first bloom can encourage rebloom.
4. Prune with purpose: If shaping is desired, prune right after the spring flush so you don’t remove developing buds for summer/fall flowers.
5. Ongoing care: Maintain even moisture, refresh mulch annually, and monitor soil pH to keep foliage glossy and blooms prolific.

If your vision calls for white azaleas with dependable rebloom and polished foliage, Autumn Angel is the luminous, all-season solution.
