No, but they are perinneals.
Yes, azaleas are part of the rhododendron family and are mildly toxic, so most animals avoid ingesting any parts of the plant.
partially shade
I can't say for sure if they are or not. But I bought 2 and they did not do well in full sun. Admittedly they were the best that Home Depot had on hand at the time, but they were struggling to begin with. I erroneously thought I could nurse them back to health.
Yes, they do best in full sun.
I leave it under the full sun. It is still look good so far.
I?m in North Carolina Zone 7b and our July/August gets pretty hot so I planted in morning sun but even shade. They are doing great.
Mostly full sun! Beautiful and well packaged.
Yeah, mine looked awful, looked diseased. I put in garage, will plant in the spring and see if it grows. I complained and sent to customer service, I buy a lot of plants from Home Depot in the spring, and I have been so happy. However, I go to the store and purchase. I will never buy plants on line from them again.
yes sometimes its better plant a Non blooming plant we plant in the spring like beginning of march in coastal Alamba
The tag says #3 times a year. Spring, Summer & Fall. Some of them have a couple of blooms already. I only expected them to bloom once so we will see.
Hi Anthony. Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. We suggest visiting your local Home Depot store's garden center for the miniature Azalea's. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
They look very nice placed him in the front yard around my oak tree
I came online to figure out more information. Going back to the description, it shows that pruning isn’t needed.
