Linda Vater with a group of Encore Azalea Autumn Fire

Video: Autumn Fire Landscape Design

Follow Linda Vater as she stages a combo of sun-loving plants with Autumn Fire as the base for her design.
Garden Design Expert Linda Vater designs this front yard garden bed to display bold sun-loving color that can stand up to the Oklahoma sun. Autumn Fire® is the star, joined by Purple Daydream Dwarf Loropetalum and 'Kaleidoscope' Abelia from the Southern Living Plant Collection.
Linda also shares a pro tip with us: instead of spending time and money replacing flats of annual color with bedding plants, she's found the secret -- reblooming plants like these tough shrubs offer beautiful color, season after season.
"Encore Azalea is one of my favorite shrubs in landscape design. I love that it is hardy, low maintenance and above all, you can have a multitude of colors to choose from. My clients love them too. You won’t be disappointed."
