Water
Keep evenly moist. Shallow roots dry out fast in summer.
Planting and soil
Plant in spring or fall in acidic, humus-rich soil, with the top of the root ball slightly above grade. Mulch with pine bark.
Feeding
An azalea fertilizer after the spring bloom.
Pruning
Prune lightly right after the spring flush, if at all.
Through the year
Main bloom in spring. Repeat flowers summer into fall. Evergreen in winter.
If something's off
Lace bugs stipple leaves in hot sun. Yellow leaves with green veins mean the soil isn't acidic enough. All parts are highly toxic to pets.
Azaleas, twice.
Deep ruby-red flowers in spring, then more on new growth through summer and into fall. A rounded evergreen shrub, 3–4 ft, that keeps its glossy leaves in winter.
Why we stock it: Spring azalea color that doesn't end in May.
