Autumn Royalty® Azalea

Autumn Royalty® Azalea typically grows about 3–5 feet tall and 3–5 feet wide. It has a full, upright growth habit that works well as a hedge, foundation plant, or standalone shrub.

Autumn Royalty Azalea is a slow to moderate grower, typically adding about 6 to 12 inches per year under ideal conditions.

Plant Autumn Royalty® Azalea in partial shade, ideally with morning sun and afternoon shade. It prefers well-draining, acidic soil and a location protected from intense afternoon heat.

Space Autumn Royalty® Azaleas about 3–4 feet apart to allow for mature growth and proper airflow, especially when planting as a hedge.

Autumn Royalty® Azalea is a reblooming variety that blooms heavily in spring and again in fall, with occasional blooms throughout the summer in favorable conditions.

Autumn Royalty® Azalea thrives in USDA Zones 6–10. It performs best in mild to warm climates with well-draining soil and moderate humidity.

Yes, Autumn Royalty® Azalea is evergreen in most climates, maintaining its foliage year-round. In cooler regions, it may lose some leaves during winter but will regrow in spring.

Autumn Royalty® Azalea does best with 4–6 hours of sunlight daily, preferably morning sun. Too much harsh afternoon sun can stress the plant and reduce bloom performance.

This is often caused by too much shade, improper pruning timing, or over-fertilizing. Pruning too late in the season can remove developing buds, so it’s best to prune right after the spring bloom cycle.

Yes, Autumn Royalty® Azaleas require acidic soil with a pH of about 4.5–6.0. Proper soil conditions help ensure healthy growth, vibrant foliage, and strong blooming cycles.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
