Yes.
It fits the definition of a perennial:
" Any plant that under natural conditions lives for several to many growing seasons, as contrasted to an annual or a biennial. Botanically, the term perennial applies to both woody and herbaceous plants (see stem) and thus includes numerous members of the kingdom."

It is a perennial.I have never known an azalea that was high maintenance or that died back to the ground and I have had Azaleas in South Carolina and now I have one in Quebec.My azaleas in South Carolina looked like they came out of a jungle with no help from me except watering during a drought and have never had an insect or fungus problem with them.The one I have now in Quebec,I DO have to mulch it in the winter but it keeps all its leaves(green) during our very cold ,snowy and icy winter season.

Yes, it's considered a perennial but dies back to the ground in frosty locations in the winter.

Yes they are perennial. They hate lime, and like to be kept moist.

Yes
A high-maintenance plant that must be planted in 100% organic material, not soil.
Thanks for all the thumbs-downs, folks. I guess no one has ever tried to grow azaeleas in black clay Texas soil.
