The Garden Frog with C Renee on Apr 21, 2014As Marie states they are Azaleas and here in the south some do better in shade and some can tolerate sun. They require little maintenance and if you ever need to trim them down-do it after they bloom so you can still enjoy blooms the next year. Happy gardening.Helpful Reply

Kim S on Apr 21, 2014Thanks! I have never seen an azalea this big before, so I thought it would be something else. I am such an amateur! Thank goodness for this website and everyone on it!Helpful Reply

Elizabeth Poteat on Apr 21, 2014After they finish blooming and before they put on new growth you can cut them back and they will come back much fuller and prettier.Helpful Reply

Claudia on Apr 23, 2014Kim, you live in a state that is famous for its azaleas. Azaleas have 1 stamen for each of the 5 petals and 2 stamens for each rhododendren petal. After theyre done blooming, you can trim them way back if you like.Helpful Reply

Sue Hebert on Apr 23, 2014Azaleas are a southern staple for our yards. They will grow very tall if you let you let them go or can be shaped nicely. I lived in a woodsy area and had them growing along my drive and I liked the natural look of them there. They grew quite large.Helpful Reply

Claudia on Apr 24, 2014Kati is right. All azaleas are rhododendrens, but not all rhododendrens are azaleas. Confusing :)Helpful Reply
