Dude you're a superstar in the making. Been watching your stuff for years and your videos are never a waste of time like alot of youtubers get to. I enjoy every vid from years ago as I do today. Hopefully one day you'll want to do a tour of my garden right down the street from Cox Arboretum in Canton ga.
We should have bought a house on a bigger lot LOL I want all of these!!! Thanks Jim and Stephany! Appreciate all you both do for us gardeners. Happy Holiday!
This video was great, but it definitely did not help me narrow down my choices--I want them all! Thanks for such a great overview. I do wish you would go back in the winter to show the foliage of the plants that change color. It's been hard to find good pictures online, and the stores often don't have many in stock during winter so I can see them in person.
Planted nice assortment of these no flowers first year so hoping next year they come around. Starburst, Twist, Majesty looking forward to some blooms. Ordered thru plants by mail and arrived in great shape with loads of flowers. Would like to get some more! 🌺🙂
I hit the jackpot and found 13 encore azaleas (a mix of twist and Lily) for only $4 each on clearance. They also had a red variety on sale too, but I didn’t get them. My suv was loaded. They were wiped out so fast! I’m thankful I was in the right place at the right time! ❤ I also got knockout roses, another variety of roses, and agapanthus!
Love my Starbursts, carnation and twists! They do surprisingly well in 10a southwest florida....our sun usually fries anything that's supposed to be a 9/10 plant.
Great great video. I am finally in the market for my first Encore Azalea - which incidentally I learned about watching your videos. Made my list of the ones I want. Thanks as always Jim.
Dudley nursery is one of our suppliers and I'm sure the others as well. In my experience, seeing the variety we cary growing in containers, the bonfire is a great continuous summer flowering variety. If you like red, like I do, and want a good repeat bloomer the bonfire is a great choice
I remember when Encore azaleas first hit the market. I think it was Flowerwood that first offered them to nurseries, and I traveled down to Mobile to purchase a block for the nursery that I bought for. There were only 4/5 varieties then,I knew they were going to be a big deal. We anxiously awaited a red to be available . I think Autumn Embers was still a year or two away.
WHAT A GREAT OVERVIEW YOU GAVE US OF ENCORES !!!THEY ARE SO FABULOUS AND DO VERY WELL HERE ON GULF COAST ... I have planted several varieties just in last few months however we so need rain!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!!
I randomly found some Autumn Majesty encores for 6 bucks online so of course I had to grab 5! Cool weather zapped all the flowers but I’m eagerly awaiting spring 🌱🌸
Amazing number of extraordinary plants. So many choices it's hard to decide what to buy, especially when more may come to market every year. Coral was my favorite today.
Great information in this video! The specs, comparisons and insight are really helpful. Encore needs to hire you to update their site. Also... The size of those nurseries is incredible.
Thank u Mr. Putnum. I just bought Autumn lily. U have no idea what ive learn from this videos. I appreciate the gift u have about plants. ? My old 29 yr old azeleas r not blooming as well now! What can i do or should i just start over and replace them? Thank you❤
Love this video. Since these azaleas are repeat blooming and you mentioned that some of these varieties can be kept within certain sizes, when could they be pruned in order to not lose a bloom period? I’m guessing maybe immediately after fall blooming. ??
Such beauty, curious does this mean the death of old varieties... or just make em rare.. I still love heirloom varieties over hybrids in the vegetable world.. but guess hybrids in the flower world mean more beauty. Appreciate all your work!
I'm in MA zone 6a and planted an Autumn Amethyst this spring. The fall leaf color is gorgeous. How can I help it make it through the winter. I have mulched heavily with chopped leaves.
Thanks. Exactly the video I was looking for! I’m new to encore azaleas and looking for a bright, vibrant, neon pink and/or purple. What do you recommend? Thx
Hello Jim, we bought a house with a nice garden which it as quiet a few azaleas, I have a big dog. I didn't know azaleas are highly poisoning to dogs. How do you get around this issue? Do you have any advise? thank you.
Why is it so hard to find examples of a single or thick trunks?, I have bought everything from the $ 20 one gallon to the $ 80 five gallon, and everything has come with multiple stems potted in the same container.
I know this video is a year old but hopefully someone sees my comment. Im trying to decide on planting hydrangeas (limelight or incrediball) or a row of azaleas in my backyard. Its a wooded area behind me but the yard is fenced in. I have one azalea currently that is about 5ft tall, the blooms are deep pink so not light colored. Im just getting into gardening and learning. Should I mix in the hydrangeas or create an azalea "hedge" ?
Jim, this was very helpful. I have a good-sized (maybe 2.5 feet high and wide) yellow azalea (the name of which I've long forgotten). It has gotten a little burned by the severe direct sun we've been getting these past few summers. The shade tree I had was taken-down a few years ago because it was dangerously large. My questions are, (1) Can I transplant this successfully, (2) If so, what time of the year would be best, (3) and is there anything special I need to do to make it happy again? Thank you, Donald (I'm zone 8 - Vancouver, WA)
Do you have to plant 1 sunburst in a big container to let it mature completely or do you need to put more together to fill up the container in a nice way? Thanks for answering
I have Encore Azaleas and I live in North Georgia near Cumming Georgia and the weather here is gona get very cold calling for temps in the low 12 degrees will the azaleas survive this kind of cold or should i cover them with something?

running out of sunlight before you run out of azaleas is absolutely a vibe.
Jim, thanks for all you do. You have an obvious love of plants. Your videos are short, consice, good usable info and not much fluff.
We should have bought a house on a bigger lot LOL I want all of these!!! Thanks Jim and Stephany! Appreciate all you both do for us gardeners. Happy Holiday!
Thank you. Same to you!

Hello Jim, You made me remember of Alaska, and Redbird. Thanks for the beautiful video. Elsa
This video was exactly what I needed as I have two Autumn lilacs and looking to add more varieties to my garden / landscape.
Love my Starbursts, carnation and twists! They do surprisingly well in 10a southwest florida....our sun usually fries anything that's supposed to be a 9/10 plant.
Great great video. I am finally in the market for my first Encore Azalea - which incidentally I learned about watching your videos. Made my list of the ones I want. Thanks as always Jim.
Those ‘Bravo’ and ‘Starburst’ cultivars are stunning!
Starburst is a giant winner!

Same here! It's amazing how many there are now
These are still blooming where I am, Dec 13. Blooming at the same time as the knock-out roses that are planted everywhere.
WHAT A GREAT OVERVIEW YOU GAVE US OF ENCORES !!!THEY ARE SO FABULOUS AND DO VERY WELL HERE ON GULF COAST ... I have planted several varieties just in last few months however we so need rain!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!!
Maybe put de Celsius en Centimetres numbers in text In the videos for non us viewers .
Keep up the good work
Thank you! So many options to choose from. It's so helpful to see them in bloom.
So beautiful. I wish they were hardy to zone 5b where I am, but I can still enjoy their beauty in your video.
Very informational video. Loved seeing all the varieties. Hard to pick which one I liked. Cheers.
I randomly found some Autumn Majesty encores for 6 bucks online so of course I had to grab 5! Cool weather zapped all the flowers but I’m eagerly awaiting spring 🌱🌸
So how big are they? 4" plugs, qt pots? 1 gallon pots?
@@onetwocue 1 gallon!! I’m quite pleased.

Just discovered your channel and loving it! So informative and easy to watch videos. Have you covered the Autumn JEWEL by any chance?
You said the Twilight was your favorite in another video.
Jim please check our the guy in Canton, GA, we would love to see what he’s growing and seems like he’s willing to share. Thank you.
Amazing place 🥰
Thanks!
Thank you so much!

I'm going to try an Autumn Sunburst next thanks to you.🤣🌺 I already got the Sky Pencil Holly and the Lorapetalum. 😂🌸😆🤣💮
Beautiful

I bought 4 encore azaleas in spring and they unfortunately all died. Not sure what I did wrong, but they were very pretty
great video. in nyc winter do i bring my potted ones indoors or leave outside? am zone 7, thanks
I'm in MA zone 6a and planted an Autumn Amethyst this spring. The fall leaf color is gorgeous. How can I help it make it through the winter. I have mulched heavily with chopped leaves.

I wish I can grow these here in zone 5b 😢

Are there any Encore Azaleas hardy to zone 5 ? I'd love salmon/coral.
Is full sun ok for Encore azaleas? I live in 8b just outside Tallahassee Florida. Thanks
Where’s your nursery located
Jim, this was very helpful. I have a good-sized (maybe 2.5 feet high and wide) yellow azalea (the name of which I've long forgotten).

Does foliage stay green in winter?
Why are my encore azaleas so leggy??
