Azalea Planting & Care Guide
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 an enriched, protected location and mulched beds to reduce weed competition.
Sunlight Needs: Full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to protect blooms. Select a protected location away from harsh northern winds.
Soil Requirements: Thrives in slightly acidic, well-drained soil with good organic content.
Watering Tips: Maintain consistent moisture levels, especially during dry spells. Use the "Finger Test" to avoid over-watering.
Pruning: Reblooming Azaleas flower on old wood in spring and then rebloom on new wood later in the growing season. Prune after the spring bloom is complete to shape the shrub and encourage reblooming.
Mulching: Apply a 3-4 inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool.
