Azaleas bloom in spring, their flowers dying only a few weeks later. They do not need as much sun as other plants; they live near trees and sometimes under them. Azaleas are popular flowering shrubs that are part of the enormous Rhododendron genus. They generally have smaller, less leathery leaves than other rhododendron and have flowers spread evenly all over the bush, rather than in trusses. Sizes range from under a foot to six or more feet tall. Flowers bloom in spring in colors of pink, red, rose, purple, magenta, and white. Some types are deciduous, some evergreen.

When planting balled and burlapped Rhododendrons, we suggest removing the burlap when planting, dig your hole at least two feet wider than the root ball. Dig the hole deep enough to set the Rhododendron at the same level by the visible soil line on the woody stems. Before inserting the Rhododendron break up the soil on the sides of the hole where the roots can penetrate into the surrounding soil. Insert your Rhododendron fill your hole with water and allow water to stand and drain before filling the hole with soil. Do not allow your newly planted Rhododendron to dry out, Water should be applied periodically to thoroughly wet the soil. Avoid standing water, do not let plants dry out, but do not overwater.
