#ProPlantTips For Care

The Conversation Piece Azalea, like most Azaleas, loves rich, acidic, and well-drained soil. It thrives in areas that get a fair amount of moisture and shade as well as sun. Topdress with a pine bark mulch or arborist mulch chips to retain moisture and insulate the shallow roots. Azaleas are generally low maintenance but if you'd like, apply a balanced acidic fertilizer to have the happiest and healthiest plant possible. Only prune flowering broad-leaved evergreen shrubs immediately after the flowers fade to avoid removing next year's spring display! You can plant a Conversation Piece Azalea in your garden without worry it'll be a snack to hungry critters, as it is deer resistant!

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?

Conversation Piece Azalea can reach around 2-3 feet in height and 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.
