Azalea 'Autumn Ruby' is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub. Compact habit and brilliant ruby-red single blooms make this one of the most refined and versatile selections in the Encore collection. 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.
