You are right. It will be glorious. I’ve put the azaleas around the edges of the yard and throughout the pine forest. Next year in March and early April there will be splashes of color every where you look.
I put in one azalea last year. I may have to get more. Our neighbor put in a row of various evergreens along the property line years ago. Now they are towering and shedding so many pine needles onto my woodland garden along that edge. Its killing some of my stuff, but I figured the azalea would be ok there. I may have to move plants out of there and put some different things in there that will do well.
