To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade - this type is significantly more sun-tolerant than evergreen azaleas. Ensure soil is acidic, well-draining, and rich in organic matter. Plant shallow - the top of the root ball should sit 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding soil level; never bury the crown. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the first two growing seasons. Mulching: Apply 2 to 3 inches of pine needles or bark, keeping it away from the main stem. Note: This plant is deciduous; it will drop its leaves in late autumn. This is a natural dormant phase, not a sign of illness.
