Q&A – Is early spring the best time to prune my azaleas?
Question:
Is early spring the best time to prune my azaleas?
Answer:
TSU Extension Agent Joellen Dimond explains that you should prune azaleas after they bloom. If you prune them in early spring you will be cutting off the flowers. Once the plant is done blooming, you can prune it – even severely – and it will grow through the rest of the year and bloom next spring.
