Can azaleas be left in the garden over the winter? Should they be covered? Our winter temperatures here in Southwestern Ontario are usually about -5 degrees Celsius, but can be as cold as -15 degrees Celsius.

January 6, 2016A.Most Azaleas are cold hardy down to zone 5 and 6.
There are a few varieties that are rated for zone 4.If temperatures drop below 25 degrees F that plants will need protection.
You may not be able to winter over Azaleas in your area.

How and when to prune?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
January 19, 2016A.Best time to prune is right after they have bloomed.
Also just prior to blooming you can clean up any broken or damaged stems.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/azalea/pruning-azaleas.htm

I have just been given an Azalea and would like to know if this can be planted in the garden in the spring, or is it just an indoor plant? Are there different types hardy and non hardy? Mrs EG Rumble

February 16, 2016A.It can be difficult sometimes to tell the type of Azalea that was sold.
Given the time of year, it is likely that your Azalea was grown and sold as an indoor specimen.Here are some links to help you.

Alabaster al 35007Q.Azaleas
I dug up some azaleas from another yard and planted in my yard. There are white bugs that are on the plant. They are more on the stems than leaves. One of the 3 plants looks like it is dying. I have sprayed Bayer insect on them but it has not helped. What do I need to do?

Neem Oil is good and safe treatment for insects and fungus issues.
