Azalea Care

Azaleas have been nicknamed the queen of flowers because of their beautiful blooms. If you care for them correctly, they will keep blooming and growing for years. Azalea’s prefer a pH level of 5.5 or to 6.0. To obtain this pH level, use pine needs and bark as a mulch. Azaleas like partial shade and do best when the light they receive comes from either the East or North. They need well draining soil to prevent root rot and do not do well in clay. When you transplant an Azalea, make sure to leave the top of the root bundle just showing.
