Care Tips for Double Dark Pink Azaleas
Azaleas can have a shallow, fibrous root system and need to be planted at the same level as they are grown in their containers. In hot USDA growing zones of the South, provide a protected location and mulch the beds to reduce weed competition.
- Sunlight Needs: Prefers full sun in cooler regions and partial shade in warmer areas.
- Soil Requirements: Grows best in slightly acidic, well-drained soil with ample organic matter.
- Watering Tips: Keep soil moderately moist, especially during dry periods. Use the "Finger Test" to avoid over-watering.
- Pruning: Prune after the spring bloom cycle to encourage new growth and reblooming.
- Mulching: Apply a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch to conserve moisture and protect shallow roots.
