Planting & Care

Plant your Autumn Angel® in a hole three times wider than the root ball, loosening roots gently before backfilling with amended soil. Water immediately after planting and apply mulch to retain moisture. During the first growing season, water twice to three times weekly, increasing frequency during hot weather. Once established, reduce watering frequency and check soil moisture by inserting your finger 3–4 inches deep—water when the soil feels dry at this depth. Amend clay or neutral soil with organic matter or acidic additives to create the slightly acidic conditions this azalea prefers.
