We bought some medium size azaleas last year and planted them in late May. When we planted them they were just blooming. This year they did not bloom/flower. The leaves have grown back in, but no flowers still in mid-June. We live in upstate NY. Did I not doing something in the fall or spring that I should have, i.e. prune, etc? I did dead head the flowers, but that was all.Why did my azaleas not bloom this year?
a/ what was the weather like in your area last winter. cold very cold?? could be that killed off the buds.
b/ have your fertilized them? They should be fertilized starting in January on a monthly basis.
c/ what are the leaves like are the just pale green or dark
green. if they are pale they definitely need fertilizer
d/ what is ph of your soil. Azaleas like an acid soil. check it
with a simple cheap kit from the nursery. Also did you know
you can dig in your coffee grounds into the soil around the azaleas. They love it!
e/they need regular watering as they like a moist soil.
