Top 10 Encore® Azaleas - Repeat Flowering Azaleas

[@andrewwright449]

It's great to see a simple straight to the point video from a regular guy not trying to be gimmicky.

[@bloomfulbeauties721]

It doesn't matter what kind of advice I need, or what type of plant I am hoping to find... I can ALWAYS come to your channel to find it. This is exactly what I needed. Bonfire all the way! Thanks Jim!

[@kerryjean2223]

I knew it... As soon as you said the ten most popular I knew my favourite wouldn't get a mention. I'm not worried... I'm use to it.... I know my taste is nothing like the mainstream x

[@homeandlifewithcynthia]

I love all your videos. I’ve watched them for years. Thank you for being awesome!

[@eliarenas6217]

Encore azaleas are my go to plants for any part shade situation.

[@beckysmith7142]

Thank you Jim, for another great video!!! I am learning so much from you! I keep a running list of plants that I want to buy, and I add to it during almost everyone of your videos! Please keep up the good work!

[@thomaslocke38]

Hey Jim do you think these would work along a border like a hedge row with the neighbors? I'm in nashville. Thanks

[@gallerysanjaya]

Wow you did wonderful job so I love landscaping

[@shanew7361]

East side of my garage neighbors home about 15 ft away 2 story. Sun about 3-5 hours a day. Have a lily and large hydrangea that grow fine there. What azaleas would you recommend for that type of environment? Debating on doing bobo hydrangea as well. Bed is maybe 3-4 ft wide and 25ft long.

One of my 2 Autumn Lilies planted in zone 6b in early June have just started to bloom. I was nervous there for a bit because these are my first azaleas and I saw no blooms but now I'm seeing progress. I did add some hollytone and maybe that helped. Great video.

[@JimPutnam]

Holly-Tone was a good call. Good luck with them. Thanks for watching.

[@HS-ce6rw]

So...in a world where there is no rain, and you're in 7b, and you have 1 year old azaleas, and you get sun from 2:30-5 (ouch), and it's an average sunny July, and you have pop up direct irrigation...how long would Jim Putnam set the irrigation to run and how often ? :) can you humor me and advise?

[@jackwinston168]

When is the latest you can plant Encore Azaleas in Wilmington, NC

[@rnguyen2516]

In zone 8B, should I plant azaleas in fall or spring?

[@jazzdude904]

I just planted 10 of there. 6 autumn sunsets and 4 autumn twist. Really beautiful plants and low maintenance

[@tlovesgreens8244]

How tall does Autumn twist get?

[@sofiabermudez5859]

4-5 H

[@John-oj8ms]

So the ivory and angel both bloom 3× a year? Thinking about doing away with the holly in front of our church and trying these

[@allaboutrosesandflowers1415]

Do you have Midnight Flare Azalea Shrub in your garden? i have one. and want to know about the details. thanks

[@lindalamberth5997]

Hey Jim, I am prepping a flower bed for fall. It is 5ft wide and 30 ft long. I purchased 3ft Encore Bonfires and 4ft Autumn Lily. I was going to plant reds in front - whites in back, alternating colors. Do you think spacing will be an issue,? Should I have purchased the Autumn Angel? They are the same size-same spacing? Thank you in advance. I Love your channel!!!!⚘🌻

[@TheStrawberryAnia]

I have Autumn Fire azalea and I absolutely love it!

[@JimPutnam]

It's a good one 👍

[@samuelasamoah6906]

Do the names suggest that they are meant for fall temps only?

[@CSFAV]

Beautiful Azaleas!!!!

[@addiboy007]

What about Autumn Coral - soft coral pink color?

[@jbrou1209]

When is the best time to plant these or any other plants, Spring and Fall? Is it okay to plant them when it's very hot but to make sure to increase watering? I live in Houston so the temperature is high. Thanks for the help and videos.

[@CarrieNita]

I am in NE Alabama, zone 7b. I think I have planted my encore Azaleas too close (4-7') to our air unit. The plants are all turning brown and have lost most of their foliage. I watered them 2x weekly during Spring and 3x weekly during Summer. They are mounded with soil conditioner at the bottom of each hole. There is still some pliability of the stems, but about 1/3 of the stems crack. If I dig them up now, is there any hope for the plants, or should I cut my losses? I am thankful for your technical videos. Keep them coming

[@NiaLin]

Love azaleas! Seems too hot here for them though (9b). Probably too alkaline also. I just haven’t had good luck w/them. Not even w/afternoon shade & acidic soil amendments ☹️. It’s a bummer cuz they’re one of my fave shrubs for a perennial bed/border. You’ve got great taste in flowering shrubs! Thanks for another enjoyable video!

[@jimmymatheny7286]

I think they where originally grown in Louisiana zone 9 that's where I'm from and they doing good so far make sure they not in full sun and they should be alright

[@dcsr2457]

S. Florida not good for azaleas.

[@danlewis1871]

Thanks Jim, great information

[@noel888]

Hi Jim, wish i came across your video before i bought my Encore Autumn Amethyst. Ut was in bloom when i bought it, and planted in a half size barrel that gets 5 to 6 hours of sun. Past 2 weeks we got very cool temps for Spring here in NY area...lowest 42 degrees. since then all blooms have gone and do not even seen new buds...gave a coat of top peat moss for an acidic soil. how often should i water in that size of barrel, thanks.

[@JimPutnam]

You probably won't need to water it very often to begin with, but more over the course of the summer. It will put on a new flush of growth and then reset flower buds. Good luck with it.

[@sharonsimpson9459]

Which one would you choose between Autumn Fire or Bonfire?

[@marylandsharona]

Can Autumn twist be in full sun? I just bought it and wanted to put it in my flower bed in front of the house. I'm in Md I believe that is 7?

[@wkclshero]

Since they rebloom when should they be pruned ?

[@viviangerard459]

i have 2 pink ones and 1 has never bloomed so i moved it so when do they start to bloom

[@torpa15]

wow im surprised Lilac wasn't part of the top 10 sellers - It's stunning

[@JimPutnam]

I agree. Autumn Lilac is a good one.

[@jean-yvesjoret3271]

Hi Jim, I am enjoying and learning so much, THANKS, and you are talking about selling those flowers, which are patented. Do you just resell ? or propagate your own Azaleas, for sale? Thanks

[@JimPutnam]

I just resell now. I always propagated my own non-patented Azaleas when I had my wholesale nursery.

[@jean-yvesjoret3271]

Thanks Jim for your clarification, merci

[@osands]

Hi Jim! So I have bonfires and fires that aren't blooming in the summer yet(im in wake forest). They bloomed very nice in the spring but nothing yet in the summer. Any ideas what might be happening? They get at least 4+ of sun and they are all healthy and putting on foliage growth etc. I just planted them in the ground this spring for the bonfires and last fall for the fires. Maybe they aren't established enough yet or something?

[@eddiejinthehouse]

Hi! I have a 30 year old christmas cheer azalea 1,3m high. Do u know what it could be worth?

[@wictorsson]

One question do i have. How do i treat powdery mildew on deciduous azaleas? Can't really find any information on that.

[@claudiajones356]

Why is the edge's of my azaleas turning brown and dropping off

[@janabibi5422]

You have plans for sale Azaleas????

[@sunnyday7869]

Thank you!

[@quoctrangchuotbeo4]

I'm looking for red Azalea has small leaves, so anyone know the name please let me know. Thanks

[@viviangerard459]

how many times do they bloom

[@JimPutnam]

They should bloom in the next few weeks and repeat bloom later in the year.

[@pennyduncan5980]

I need a bigger yard🤗

[@theropesofrenovation]

lol. I need a bigger yard too.

[@vohoang9681]

Where are you by Azalea

[@raffiquehillocks7501]

My name is Azalea 😊

[@YourDroidDoes]

Encore bore me. They have the same amount of buds as a traditional azalea, they just bloom out in stages. I'll take a short lived, full on, mass planted, jaw dropping, 'traditional' azalea over an encore, any day.

[@elmerfudpucker5387]

I accidentally bought an Autumn Fire not knowing it was a dwarf. Will it grow bigger than 2 1/2 ft if left unpruned?
