Encore Azalea has announced the debut of a new variety in its collection. Autumn Lilac features a unique, brilliant lavender bloom color and spectacular rich green foliage.
Autumn Lilac’s two-inch wide blooms are accented with dark purple freckles and its lavender bloom color is right in sync with the trend to purple hues in the flower garden for 2009-2010.
The new variety grows to a manageable 3-4 feet tall and wide. Its compact growth habit and consistent rounded shape make it an attractive garden addition even when it’s not in bloom.
