Can anyone tell me about the plant Azalea? Does it grow in summer?

Answer 1

Yes they grow in the summer
but only flower in the spring
there are deciduous & evergreen varieties
the deciduous have a more magnifcent flower, but do not cover the plant with flowers like the evergreen kind.
They like sun to part sun and acid rich soil (Mir-Acid & Holly-Tone)

Answer 2

Azalea can be grown successfully only by catering to their taste for a humusy soil. Each year thousands of gardeners try to grow them otherwise—with conspicuous failure!

This plant is an evergreen shrub all year, but with the advent of spring it comes into its glory. Suddenly the tip of each branch bursts into bloom until the plant is a veritable bouquet. For sheer beauty few other plants are its equal.

Answer 3

It depends! Where do you live??

Azalea plants are usually considered a spring or early summer perennial (depending on where you live).

They bloom when the soil is cool. They need filtered sunlight, rich, acid soil that is both moisture retentive and fast draining, and to be protected from freezing in the winter.

Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Azaleas are evergreen, will tolerate full sun to part shade, like acidic soil (epsom salts), bloom in spring on new growth only, will root by laying branches on the ground and weighting them (brick) down.
