Azalea & Rhododendron

The frost got my Azaleas!

17 years ago

Hi, I'm new to this forum as of a few minutes ago, I have visited here often though. I have a question about my azaleas. I usually prune my Azaleas lightly after blooms have fallen, but we had a very cold spell over the weekend,I know the plant itself is fine, but the blooms turned brown,a few of the plants were not in bloom, and were just forming buds,should I wait and see what they do, or should I go ahead and prune it?

Thanks!

April, wait on those that weren't blooming - the buds may have been less affected by the cold than the open blossoms.
