What Rhodos & Azaleas to Plant

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I'm redoing the front of my house - foundation. Raised beds. It faces northeast and has 4-5 hrs of sun in the morning. The western corner gets afternoon sun. I want hardy, disease free plants that won't get over 5 or possibly 6 feet (one spot). Locally I've found: Olga Mezzitt(blooming now), Catabrinese Boursault(blooms soon), Vulcan Flame - mildew problems??? Looked at the Northern Lights series of Azaleas and like them. Delaware White & Cunningham's White were recommended also, but it seems the whites look "sad" while they are dying (brown).

I'm also wondering how much sun Olga needs to turn the wonderful fall colors? I had a burning bush that did not turn orange in this area.

Any other suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks. Maggie
