Encore Azalea Design Options
Container Garden
If your current budget isn’t quite large enough to include a total revamp of the property, you can put Dwarf Encore Azaleas in containers for a quick, inexpensive pop of color and interest!
By planting your azalea shrubs in containers, you can reap the benefits of easy transport and redesign of a space! This is a popular option for balconies and patios in need of a splash of life!
Azalea Yard Borders
If you are looking to incorporate Encore Azaleas into a larger yard project, you may want to consider using them as a shrub border!
Adding Encore Azaleas to your landscaping beds, along fences, or even in place of a fence is an easy way to create a natural barrier from the outside world! Creating a hedge along paths or property lines is not only practical but so much more aesthetically pleasing than a fence! Not to mention they will provide color from spring through fall, sometimes blooming into the winter.
Mass Planting Encore Azaleas
If you are adding bigger landscaping beds or redoing existing ones, consider doing a mass planting of Encores on slopes or in beds. Encore Azaleas make a bold statement when planted at either side of an entryway. The colorful bloomers also look great when layered with other dwarf understory plants for immense dimension and beauty.
If you’re short on space, add the Encore Azaleas to a small flower bed, plant around the base of a large specimen tree, or even around your mailbox!
There really is no limit to how you can use Encore Azaleas in your landscaping. They can be incorporated in a colorful, beautiful way no matter your budget or available space.
