Rhododendron Autumn Fire ('Roblez') (PBR) (Encore Azalea Series)
twice flowering evergreen azalea
One of the new breed of repeat-flowering azaleas, 'Autumn Fire' can produce a generous flush of rich red trumpets in late spring and early summer, but then flower intermittently again from midsummer to early autumn. The flowers look stunning against the backdrop of deep green foliage, which when the temperatures drop in winter, will often turn purple-bronze in colour.
