'Autumn Kiss' Encore Azalea

Autumn Kiss wows with truly unique bicolor blooms, flowers heavily and reblooms season after season. The gorgeous semi-double blooms glow on a compact, rounded habit with Autumn Kiss maturing to 3–4′ tall and wide. This is a new release for 2026 and I love it. Autumn Kiss is one of my favorite from the line of Encore Azaleas. The color is just so striking and adds a wonderful pop of color. I believe these azaleas will really shine if you add them to an area of the landscape where you can plant a little cluster of them together. I plan to do this at my our home. I have a row of ‘Strawberry Sundae’ Hydrangea that I think would pair great with the ‘Autumn Kiss’ Azalea. I like the mature size on these azaleas too. They aren’t the smallest but are a good size at 3 to 4 foot tall and wide. You could use these as a backdrop or plant them in front of a larger shrub as well. I like plants that can be used this way because it expands the places you can use them in the garden. Overall this is a great new plant that has been added to the toolbox of designing gardens and flowerbeds. I highly recommend this azalea. Be sure to give it plenty of sun.
