Seven Variety of Azaleas to Cultivate for an Autumn Garden Brimming with Vibrant Hues

================================================================================

The Encore Series of azaleas is a collection of beautiful shrubs that offer more than just one season of blooms. These azaleas, native to North America, are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to repeat bloom, starting from early summer and continuing into fall.

One of the standout azaleas in this series is 'Autumn Amethyst'. This shrub grows to 4 feet tall and wide and boasts delicate purple blooms, as well as purple leaves in winter. It's one of the most cold-hardy azaleas in the Encore line, making it an excellent choice for cooler climates.

Another favourite is 'Autumn Sangria'. This azalea is cold hardy to USDA zone 6 and prefers a site with four hours of bright light or direct sun. It grows to 4.5 feet tall and wide, offering deep pink flowers that rebloom all season and evergreen foliage that brightens garden beds in winter.

For those looking for a taller option, 'Autumn Royalty' is a great choice. This tall reblooming azalea shrub, one of the tallest of the Encore series, grows to around 5 feet (1.6 m) tall. It features delicately ruffled flowers and is evergreen, making it a beautiful addition to any garden. In fact, 'Autumn Royalty' was named the Azalea of the Year by the American Rhododendron Society.

'Autumn Twist' is a unique addition to the Encore series. It has a unique dark foliage colour and grows to 4.5 feet (1.5 m) tall. This azalea cultivar offers striped flowers that are white and purple, and it's heat-loving, making it suitable for USDA zones 6-10.

'Autumn Rouge' is a popular reblooming azalea with deep pink, semi-double blooms. It grows to about 4 feet tall with a spread of 4.5 feet. 'Autumn Chiffon' is another beautiful option, with white blooms that turn pink as they age, growing to 3 feet tall and wide.

For those with limited space, 'Autumn Angel' is a dwarf azalea that grows up to 3 feet high and wide. It features snow white blooms and deep green leaves. While it may have sporadic flowers over the summer, it often produces another wave of flowers in fall.

It's important to note that while the Encore Series of azaleas is widely available, specific information about garden centers or horticultural businesses in Germany that offer Autumn Rouge Azaleas was not found in the search results.

In terms of care, all Encore azaleas require at least four hours of sun a day. 'Autumn Rouge' requires at least two hours of direct sun for optimal flowering and should be pruned right after the early wave of blooms starts to fade.

In conclusion, the Encore Series of azaleas offers a diverse range of beautiful, reblooming shrubs that can brighten any garden from early summer to fall. Whether you're looking for a tall, evergreen shrub or a compact, dwarf azalea, there's an Encore azalea for everyone.
