Plant Electric Lights Double Pink Azalea in well-drained, acidic soil. Choose a location with partial shade to protect from harsh afternoon sun. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Protect from harsh winter winds and extreme cold by covering with burlap if necessary.
