Learn how Buddy Lee created the Encore Azalea, the first re-blooming azalea

I met Buddy Lee at the Mid Atlantic Nursery Trade show in Baltimore and we became friends quickly. I sat down with Buddy to learn how he was able to create the first re-blooming azalea called Encore.
Since those first days, there have been many Encore azaleas introduced.
I planted ‘Autumn Amethyst,’ ‘Autumn Fire' and ‘Autumn Starburst,’ which are all hardy to zone 6a.
