I have azaleas but I'm in zone 7b. We might get 1 snow a year. I found this article when I was researching for mine.

I keep pine straw around mine year round rather than mulch. I've never covered them I just stop feeding & watering when the temperatures start to break. They're still close to 100 daily so nothing yet.
I also found this article from the International Camellia society so it's probably a reliable source.
