Autumn Starlite Encore Azalea produces an abundance of large and magnificent 3-inch diameter flowers with white petals and an occasional pink stripe in spring and dark pink flecks at the center. Flowers come in spring, summer and fall against a backdrop of light green, evergreen foliage. Butterflies will enjoy feeding on the flowers as much as you'll enjoy looking at them!
