Renee Michelle Azalea Care
This striking azalea grows best in either filtered or partial shade. When it comes to the soil, it prefers an acidic substrate that is fertile, moist and free draining. To help it establish, water it regularly to keep the soil moist, but not overly wet. Fertilize with an ericaceous plant feed after blooming.
Lightly prune to shape after flowering with a pair of clean and sharp pruners. Mulch annually with organic matter to help conserve moisture and keep the weeds down.
