Product description
The Azaleas are a great selection of shrubs to include as part of the garden. The colours they provide are second-to-none, with red, pink, purple, orange and many other options available. Situating them in garden borders or beds is great, with their appearances all being highlighted when situated correctly. Another common feature of Azaleas is the green foliage. This tends to be a year-round feature which gives the shrubs a good balance throughout.
Azaleas offer many appealing aspects when placed in a garden border or bed. They should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and given frequent watering in Spring and Summer to allow for the warmer weather to not take its toll on the Azaleas.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune azaleas after blooming to maintain shape and encourage better growth for the next season. Avoid cutting into old wood, as it may not regrow, and focus on removing dead or damaged branches.
How to Water
Water azaleas regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as they prefer well-drained soil. Water at the base, not on the leaves, and mulch to help retain moisture and reduce watering needs.
How to Plant
Choose a partially sunny or shaded spot with acidic, well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly wider and as deep as the root ball. Place the azalea, keeping the root ball level with the soil surface. Backfill, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool.
