Feed with an acid-forming azalea or camellia fertilizer in spring, after the flowers have dropped; fertilize again in the midsummer if growth seems sluggish or foliage looks sparse and begins to lose its deep green color (take care to water the plants the day before feeding in summer).
Some gardeners cover azaleas and camellias, especially when in bloom, during a hard freeze. The plants will survive covered or not, but frost will ruin any flowers. I never cover the other shrubs. Perennials that tolerate temperature extremes include coneflowers, daylilies and leopard plant, which is a shade plant.ome gardeners cover azaleas and camellias, especially when in bloom, during a hard freeze.
