Pollination Info
Encore® Azalea 'Autumn Embers'™
Botanical Name: Rhododendron hybrida 'Autumn Embers'
Common Name: Autumn Embers Azalea
Pollination Info: Encore Azaleas are a group of hybrid azaleas that have been specifically bred for their ability to bloom multiple times a year. They are self-pollinating, meaning they do not require cross-pollination from another plant in order to set fruit or produce viable seeds. However, they can benefit from the presence of pollinators such as bees and butterflies to help transfer pollen between flowers and increase the chances of successful pollination.
Best Pollinators: Bees and butterflies are the primary pollinators for Encore Azaleas, as they are attracted to the colorful and fragrant flowers of the plants. By planting pollinator-friendly flowers nearby and avoiding the use of pesticides, you can encourage these beneficial insects to visit your Encore Azalea and help ensure successful pollination.
