We just love the new Autumn Bonfire® Encore® Azalea. With true red single and semi-double blooms for 3 seasons, this dwarf azalea is absolutely stunning!
The beautiful 2.5-inch red blooms covering this azalea offer a stunning contrast to its deep green foliage. You will enjoy deep green foliage year-round and vibrant red blooms in spring, summer, and fall.
Key Features
- Prolific blooms for months! The Encore® Autumn Bonfire® offers gorgeous, red blooms for 3 seasons!
- A dwarf variety. The Bonfire azalea will reach a height of about 3 feet tall and 3.5 feet wide.
- Fast-growing. Unusual for a dwarf shrub, the Bonfire grows quickly often reaching full height within 5 years.
- A tough and easy to grow flowering shrub. Encore® azaleas are pest and disease resistant and low maintenance. The Bonfire grows in zone 6 to zone 10 so it tolerates cooler and hotter temperatures than many other azaleas.
- Grows in sun! Contrary to most azaleas that prefer shade the Bonfire azalea grows well in sun so you won't have to hide these beauties from the world!
Pro Tip: You're probably asking what is the difference between the Bonfire and the Fire Encore Azaleas. They are pretty similar, but the Bonfire has a mix of single and semi-double blooms versus the consistent semi-double blooms of the Fire. The Bonfire is a bit larger growing to about 3 feet tall and 3.5 feet wide versus the 2.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide of the Fire. The true red color appears a bit brighter on the Bonfire and a bit deeper on the Fire.
