Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist to wet, acidic soil (pH 4.5–6.0) enriched with organic matter. Space 5–6 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch generously to retain moisture.

Care Tips

Water deeply and consistently- swamp azalea naturally grows in moist to wet conditions and thrives with reliable moisture. Prune lightly immediately after flowering to preserve the following year's buds. Fertilize in spring with an acid-formulated azalea fertilizer. The fragrant flowers are a distinctive quality of this native azalea and very attractive to pollinators and hummingbirds. Largely pest-resistant and easy to grow in the right moist, acidic conditions.
