Azaleas Died

Question

Two established azaleas in our garden have died. All of a sudden the established plants have died back from the leaves down the stem. What are we doing wrong? Can you help us, please?

Answer 1

It sounds like they may have Phytophthora Root Rot. It can spread rapidly among azaleas. I think you will find this article helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/azalea/phytophthora-root-rot-azaleas.htm
