Azaleas are known as the pretty little sister of the rhododendron, as they are in the same family. The small to medium-sized shrubs boast masses of brightly coloured, scented flowers. But with so many flowers blooming the petals will inevitably wilt and fade in mass. So the question is should you deadhead azaleas?
Azaleas bloom predominantly during springtime. If you've learned how to prune azaleas then their vivid buds will greet you not long after daffodils and crocus return and will continue to fill borders with colour throughout April, May and June, possibly even July if lucky.
