We're thrilled each time we can share this gardening secret with new gardening friends: you can plant azaleas in your sunny garden spots, too. The trick is planting Encore Azaleas, instead of traditional shade-loving varieties.
The 33 varieties of Encore Azaleas can tolerate full sun and even bloom best in full sun or in part shade. High filtered shade or shifting shade -- where dappled sunlight filters through high, thin branches like pine trees -- is also a great exposure for Encore Azaleas.
These Reblooming Azaleas Love the Sun.
Though traditional azaleas thrive in shade, reblooming Encore Azaleas are versatile bloomers for sun or part shade.

"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."
"Our Encore Azaleas produce consistent flowers year-round especially when planted in more sun. We have also found that they are significantly more resistant to lace bug when compared to other azaleas that we are growing."
"Absolutely Lovely! Planted two Autumn Sunbursts in the spring. Arrived healthy and large. Blooming now in a flood of corals and white. Easily my favorite Encore Azaleas. Buying more now. Highly recommended."
