This hardy variety reaches three to four feet in height and width and does best in well-drained acidic soil and partial shade. An easy variety to grow, the evergreen azalea is an excellent choice for creating a low-maintenance hedge for gardens with dappled light.

watering
Evergreen Azaleas should be watered deeply, approximately once a week, or when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During hot summer months, they may require additional waterings. If the weather becomes particularly dry, you may need to water your Azalea more frequently to keep the soil from becoming overly dry. Azaleas also benefit from a layer of mulch around the base of their stems to help retain moisture.
sunlight
Evergreen azaleas (Rhododendron 'Mrs. Henry Schroeder') require full to partial shade throughout the day to ensure good bloom. They excel in areas that receive medium to high levels of sunlight during the spring, but then get some shade in the afternoon and evening hours to prevent the plant from being burned. To ensure the best growth, consider providing evergreen azaleas 4-6 hours of sunlight each day.
pruning
Evergreen azalea (Rhododendron 'Mrs. Henry Schroeder') should be pruned lightly each year. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins to appear, to maintain its shape and size. Make sure to remove any dead, broken, or dying branches, and thin out any branches that are rubbing or crossing 1 another. The goal is to create a strong, full, single-trunked structure with evenly spaced branches that allow plenty of light and air circulation to reach the entire plant.
