How to care for azaleas in summer – 3 expert tips for healthy plants and brilliant blooms

Pink and purple azalea blooms in a woodland garden.

There are thousands of varieties of azalea shrubs, ranging in color from red to pink, yellow to white, and every shade in between. These low-maintenance and hardy plants are a good choice if you are looking for a flowering shrub that is impactful wherever it is grown.

Azaleas tend to drop faded flowers in July and August before playing a useful supporting act as foliage plants in the yard. It is important to continue to care for your plants through the height of summer, even after flowering has finished, particularly as hot and dry weather can prove challenging for these woodland plants.
