These easy-care shrubs come in so many colors it’s hard to find one that doesn’t suit your needs. Azaleas can be grown in nearly any garden, instantly adding interest and color to drab areas. **Sunlight:** Semi-Shade (avoid harsh afternoon sun) **Watering:** Regular Watering **Soil:** Favour acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.0) **Pruning:** Trim azaleas after their blooming period has expired. Taking time to trim azaleas by cutting back the branches of these shrubs will also help renew overgrown plants.   [#Home Garden](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/home-garden), [#Garden Blog](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/gardenblog), [#flower garden](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/flower-garden), [#Featured](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/featured), [#plant profile](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/plant-profile) [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20%20&body=Check%20out](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20%20&body=Check%20out) Join the discussion on our social channels ## Related Post [Home Garden Cold climate favourites Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/cold-climate-favourites) [Home Garden Creating a Native Garden Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/creating-a-native-garden) [Home Garden Creating a Herb Spiral Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/creating-a-herb-spiral) [Home Garden Plants you can’t kill Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/plants-you-cant-kill) [Home Garden Gardening with children in mind Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/gardening-with-children-in-mind) [Home Garden Botany basics 101 - all about plants Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/botany-basics-101-all-about-plants) #### Trending This Week ##### [Cold climate favourites Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/cold-climate-favourites) ##### [Creating a Native Garden Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/creating-a-native-garden) ##### [Creating a Herb Spiral Read More >](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/creating-a-herb-spiral) How Green is your Garden [Take the quiz](https://rockypoint.com.au/garden-quiz) #### Subscribe to our Newsletter [![rp-web-logo-white](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/hubfs/Logos/rp-web-logo-white.png)](https://rockypoint.com.au/) ![Family-Owned-Australian-Business-blue](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/hubfs/Blog/Family-Owned-Australian-Business-blue.png) [![icon-fb](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/hubfs/Blog/icon-fb.png)](https://www.facebook.com/RockyPointAU/) [![icon-ig](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/hubfs/Blog/icon-ig.png)](https://www.instagram.com/rockypointau/) [![icon-yt](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/hubfs/Blog/icon-yt.png)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf8XYQ8ArJC9pj_qqlyHoZw/videos) [![icon-li](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/hubfs/Blog/icon-li.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocky-point-mulching-pty-ltd/) - [Products](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/) - [Better Earth Selection System](https://rockypoint.com.au/better-earth-selection-system/) - [Garden](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/garden/) - [Production](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/production/) - [Division](https://rockypoint.com.au/division/) - [Garden](https://rockypoint.com.au/garden/) - [Production](https://rockypoint.com.au/production/) - [Renewables](https://rockypoint.com.au/renewables/) - [Our Company](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/why-rocky-point/) - [Why Rocky Point](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/why-rocky-point/) - [Better Earth Program](https://rockypoint.com.au/better-earth-program/) - [Our History](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/our-history/) - [Our Story](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/our-story/) - [Our Vision](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/our-vision/) - [Our Achievements](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/our-achievements/) - [Commitment to Quality](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/commitment-to-quality/) - [Commitment to Sustainability](https://rockypoint.com.au/our-company/commitment-to-sustainability/) - [Blog](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/) - [In The Garden](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/gardenblog) - [News](https://blog.rockypoint.com.au/tag/news) - Support - [Contact](https://rockypoint.com.au/contact/) - [FAQ](https://rockypoint.com.au/faq/) - [Find your local stockist](https://rockypoint.com.au/find-a-stockist/) - [How Green is Your Garden Quiz](https://rockypoint.com.au/garden-quiz/) - [Ask an Expert](https://rockypoint.com.au/ask-an-expert/) - [Media Kit](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x6r95gszbwa489r/AAA70khG41yaxKwTYHjtoswQa?dl=0) © Rocky Point Pty Ltd 2020.
