Q.When And How Do I Trim Azaleas. The Azaleas I Have Bloom 3 Times A Year. They Are Salmon Color.
I don’t know what time of year or how to trim my azalea bush. It is getting very big and I do not want it to get any bigger.

Generally, this is done at the beginning of July, as to not destroy next year's flowers. It will be very important to be sure that the shrub that is planted will not exceed the size of the area, as pruning only prolongs this, rather than prevents it from reaching full size. This article will guide you through the process:
