azalea bush looks like it is dying

| I planted an azalea bush last spring. This year, it isn't looking all that good. Lots of the stems/leaves are brown or are turning brown. Same for the buds on those stems. Other stems look healthy. I only see one bud that is open, and that is at the base of the plant. Should I prune all the dead looking stems now? Seems there are more of those than healthy ones. Did it get too cold this winter for them? Thanks. |

| It didn't get too cold this winter. There was a freak frost in April that hurt many plants that had been fooled by the early warmth...then reality nipped them in the buds (lol). Usually azaleas flourish in our areas. You'll be fine next season as long as there are no freak freezes in the spring. |
