Azalea 'Autumn Royalty' is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub. Deep purple blooms — one of the richest, darkest colors in the Encore series — appear reliably in spring and fall above glossy, dark green evergreen foliage. Performs best in partial shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Mulching helps retain moisture and protect roots. A cornerstone of foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and shaded borders where bold seasonal color and evergreen foliage are desired.
