Planting and Caring for Long Flowering Azaleas

Mulch generously to maintain moisture and suppress weeds, and water deeply during dry periods. Azaleas appreciate regular feeding in early spring and again after their main bloom. With minimal pruning required, simply remove spent flowers and shape lightly to maintain a compact habit.
