Frequently Asked Questions

What USDA hardiness zones can Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea survive in?
  • Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8. It is a deciduous azalea, so it drops its leaves in fall and grows a fresh set each spring. Give it a spot with at least four hours of direct sun and acidic, well-drained soil for the best spring bloom.

Does Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea prefer full sun, partial shade, or full shade?
  • Plant Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea where it gets at least four hours of direct sun. In zones 7 and 8, an east-facing bed that catches morning light and some shade after lunch is ideal. In zones 5 and 6, it can take a full day of sun as long as the soil stays evenly moist.

How often should I water my Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea?
  • Water Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea when the top inch of soil feels dry, which can mean every two to three days in summer heat. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, especially during its first growing season. Once the leaves drop in fall, water less until new growth starts in spring.

When does Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea bloom?
  • Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea flowers from early to late spring, opening fragrant pink blooms as the weather warms. That spring display is its only bloom of the year, so expect green foliage through summer. Next year's flower buds form on this year's growth, so any trimming belongs soon after the flowers finish.

Is Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea deer resistant?
  • Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea is not deer proof. Deer will browse azaleas, most often in late winter when other food is scarce. In areas with heavy deer pressure, protect young plants with netting or a repellent, or plant it close to the house where deer visit less often.

What plants pair well with Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea in a landscape design?
  • Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea pairs well with other azaleas and rhododendrons, and its 3 to 6 foot size suits the middle of a border. Plant it in groups of three or five in front of taller shrubs such as pieris, with hostas and ferns at its feet for a layered look after the spring flowers fade.

Does Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea need acidic soil like other azaleas?
  • Yes, Sweet Reward® Pink Azalea requires acidic, well-drained soil like all azaleas. If your native soil is alkaline, amend it with sulfur or plant in acidic potting mix. Apply pine bark or pine needle mulch to maintain acidity and keep roots cool.
