Azalea Planting & Care Guide

Azaleas require well-drained, slightly acidic soil with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot summer Zones 9 - 10, please give them afternoon shade.

Apply a three-inch layer of pine straw over the root zone to keep it cool and moist, pulling it away from directly touching the stems. Don't plant Azaleas too deeply...keep the soil at the same level they grew in at the nursery, or mound up to improve drainage.
