Pests:	Lace bug, Azalea Bark Scale
Diseases:	Salt Burn, Sun Burn, Phytophtora Root Rot
Care:	Pinch off flowers after they fade. Apply Di-Syston April 15th and July 4th to prevent lace wing fly. Fertilize with Holly-tone approximately April 1st, May 20th, July 4th, & October 30th. Keep granular fertilizers off foliage and away from stems and trunks. Use 1/2 the recommended rate of fertilizer for new plantings. Planting Instructions: Rhododendron & Azaleas Water & Fertilizer Schedule
Note: All of our Azaleas are part of our new series called "Bloom & Grow". Bloom & Grow is a registered trademark of Dayton Nurseries, Inc. and a symbol for quality assurance in Azaleas. Most are propagated and grown right here at the nursery in Norton, Ohio so you know they are ready for our long and harsh Ohio winters. The experts at Dayton Nursery have been growing Azaleas since 1973! For quality in Azaleas, look for the "Bloom & Grow" tag.
