When To Prune Azalea’s?

Question

My bushes were planted on the North side of my place and I’ve read that is wrong.

Answer 1

Actually, the North side of your house is a good spot to plant, since it won't get as much direct sun. This is preferred over a spot with more light.

Pruning should occur right as the old blooms fade, and before the new buds set. This is, usually, right before July, in most places.
