Plant Uses and Care
Azaleas can be used as border plants, in mass plantings, and as a specimen plant.
Growing Conditions: Azaleas grow best in shade or partial shade, such as under large trees.
Watering: Water newly planted azaleas every two or three days until their roots establish. Then, water them only once a week. Keep azaleas moist, not soggy or dry. When it’s hot and dry, usually, an inch of water every week is enough. You can’t leave azaleas to their own devices because they are too shallow-rooted to survive. You’ll often need to water them in the winter. Azaleas dislike both too much and too little water.
Fertilizing: Azaleas require just a tiny quantity of fertilizer to keep their leaves and flowers looking good. You simply need to apply it once a year in a very small amount. If you have lace-bug problems, you can use a combination insecticide-fertilizer product. Always remember to water thoroughly after applying fertilizer, as using too much may risk burning down your plants. Avoid using fresh manure as a fertilizer for azaleas since it is far too potent.
