Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eAzaleas can thrive in full to partial sun (3 to 6 hours of sunlight per day) or take up to 8 hours of sunlight in cooler environments. They adapt to a number of different soil types but prefer well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDig a hole three times as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Remove the plant from the container and loosen the roots with your fingers so that they spread out once planted. Backfill the hole, watering lightly as you backfill to remove air pockets. Finally, mulch the area with 2 to 3 inches of mulch to help the plant conserve water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're container-planting, select a pot that's about twice the size of your plant's shipped container, use organic soil, and place your shrub. Water the plant thoroughly until the water drains through the bottom and allow the soil to dry several inches down before watering again. Place the plant in an area where it gets 3 to 6 hours of sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/b\u003eDuring the first year, you may have to water about 2 or 3 times weekly. If you're not sure when to water, simply check your soil about 3 inches down for dryness - if the soil is dry here, it's time to water your Red Ruffles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eAzaleas need food in order to bloom for extended periods of time. Fertilize them with a slow-release fertilizer intended for azaleas in the early spring, following label instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eAzaleas need very little pruning, but if you'd like to prune for shaping, prune after flowering is done.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast Growing Trees","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":35584815595669,"sku":"AZA-RRF1","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":35584815628437,"sku":"AZA-RRF3","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/4628\/3925\/products\/RED_RUFFLES_FGT_MAIN.jpg?v=1596740690","url":"https:\/\/eightvape2b-com.myshopify.com\/products\/red-ruffles-azalea","provider":"eightvape2b.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
