More about this plant
A dwarf reblooming Encore azalea carrying pure white single flowers about 3 inches across, with crisp snow white petals and no blush or speckling. It puts on a heavy spring display and then repeats through summer and fall, on a compact plant about 3 feet tall and wide clothed in glossy deep green evergreen foliage. Give it 4 to 6 hours of direct sun, ideally morning sun with afternoon shade in hotter climates, and acid, well drained soil kept evenly moist while it establishes. Set the root ball slightly above grade to prevent waterlogging and prune right after the spring flush so the summer and fall buds are not removed.
