What Causes Yellow Leaves On My Azalea Bushes That Have Not Yet Flowered?

Question

We have several azaleas that were planted last September. Several young Azaleas have some yellow leaves and I would like to know the cause and how to treat it. Thanks!

Answer 1

If I had to guess (and if this was not planted with specifically acidic soil) then it is probably not getting nitrogen due to high soil pH.

Alternatively, this can happen with too much sun, as well. They are better suited for shade.

Here is an article that will help you to care for the shrub:
