1. Planting:Spring and fall are ideal times to plant Azaleas when conditions in your area aren’t too cold or too hot. However, if you avoid freezing and extremely hot temperatures, you can plant any time of the year. Unlike otherAzaleas, this one does well in both partial and full sun.
Before planting, be sure to test your soil to determine if it’s acidic – the type of soil Azaleas prefer. If you have alkaline soil, you should modify it before planting Azaleas by adding fertilizer, compost, or sulfur.
When youre ready to plant, dig a hole thats three times as wide and just as deep as the shrubs root ball. Remove the plant from the container and loosen the roots with your fingers so that they spread out once planted, and then, place your shrub. Backfill the soil and water lightly as you do this to remove air pockets.
If you plan to plant several Azaleas near each other to create a hedge, be sure to space them at least three feet apart; if you want them to have some space between them, give them five feet.
2. Watering:We recommend watering twice to three times weekly in the first growing season. During the hotter times of the year, plan to water every other day, depending on the weather. Once plants are established, they will need less frequent watering.
3. Fertilizing:To maintain your Azalea, be sure to fertilize it annually in the spring.Follow label instructions closely, as the application will vary by manufacturer.
4. Pruning:You dont have to prune your Azalea, though many gardeners choose todo so after the bush is finished blooming to ensure it grows fuller and is renewed.
