#ProPlantTips For Care

Rhododendrons and Azaleas don't ask for much, just full sun to partial shade locations that are enriched and moist. Good drainage and a slightly acidic site are essential for this plant, but water regularly, especially when newly planted. Azaleas have shallow root systems and appreciate being planted slightly higher than the surrounding soil with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over their surface to protect the roots and retain moisture.

This Azalea needs little pruning but may be trimmed after flowering. It is best to apply a controlled-release fertilizer in early spring. In the southern areas, choose a location with some shade in the afternoons, and in northern climates, Bollywood® may need some winter protection from cold pockets and drying northern winds.

• Full Sun to Part Shade
• Moist, Well-Drained Soil
• Prefers Acidic Soil
• Prune Only Immediately After Flowering
• Low Maintenance in Well-Drained Soil

This unique Azalea packs a huge punch of color and lots of pizzazz that will brighten your garden! Order your own Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Bollywood® Azalea from Nature Hills Nursery today!

Azalea and Rhododendron Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to plant an Azalea bush?

Azaleas and Rhododendrons prefer partial shade (both dappled shade all day or morning sun with afternoon shade). Plant in a slightly acidic, consistently moist, enriched and well-drained soil location for best results. Their shallow roots dislike soggy soil but thrive with a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over their surface.

How big does an Azalea bush get?

Bollywood® Azalea can grow around 2 feet in height and 2-3 feet in width in optimal conditions.

Are Azalea bushes low maintenance?

Azalea and Rhododendron shrubs are very easy to grow and low maintenance. Water during drought, prune only after flowering and fertilize with an acid-loving organic, slow-release flowering plant fertilizer.

What is the difference between Rhododendrons and Azaleas?

All Azaleas are Rhododendrons but not all Rhodondendrons are Azaleas. Azalea tends to be smaller-sized with smaller leaves and stems, while Rhododendrons can be larger with stout branching and larger bloom trusses. There can both be either deciduous or broad-leaved evergreens.
