How much sunlight do Encore Azaleas need?
Encores are very adaptable when it comes to sunlight. They are grown in full sun, but can do well in partial shade, so long as they get at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day (this is crucial for blooms). They perform best in sun to partial shade, preferably afternoon partial shade. They will tolerate full sunlight but care must be taken to prevent them from exposure to drought or other heat related stress conditions.
