Water deeply following a regular schedule during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch.Pruning time: spring after flowering. This evergreen shrub produces immense amounts of pink-white flowers with 2 inch blooms every spring. It grows 6-8 feet tall. It is ideally used as a screen, accent, hedge, and highlight areas. It is essential to frequently water newly planted azaleas due to their shallow root systems. The amount of water necessary should equal one inch of rain per week. Pruning helps maintain an attractive look while inducing branching for seasonal blooming.
