One of the most popular flowering shrubs with hundreds of varieties that come in a wide range of forms and sizes, nothing is more beautiful than an azalea shrub in spring bloom. These easy-care shrubs come in so many colors it’s hard to find one that doesn’t suit your needs. Azaleas create a perfect background plant in woodland settings, as a border, hedge screening, or they can be planted in containers by themselves or in combination with other plants for multi-seasonal interest. They can be grown in nearly any landscape setting, instantly adding interest and color.
Growing and caring for azaleas is easy. To keep them looking healthy, it is essential that you choose an appropriate planting location and practice proper care. Azaleas actually look the most attractive when they are planted alone, however, mass plantings work well in larger areas. They should be planted in the spring, preferably within cool, lightly shaded sites. Full sun, especially in southernmost climates, can actually burn the leaves while heavy shade can deprive them of necessary oxygen, resulting in poor blooming and weaker growth. Azaleas have shallow roots and require well-drained, acidic soil. In poorly drained areas, azaleas should be placed in raised beds or are perfect for containers. Amending the soil with compost will help strengthen the plant and help promote profuse blooming.
