Key Tips for Success: This spreading hybrid shrub is available in many colors and flower forms. To extend the flowering period, place the plant in a cool location 50-60 at night. Protect Azaleas from full sunlight which may burn the flowers. Pinch off any young, green shoots that may extend beyond the flowers. Azaleas need acid soil or their leaves may yellow. . |
