Depending on where you live, azaleas should be planted in zones 6 and 9 when in season. [substeps] Zones 6 and 11 are usually affected by chill, as dry weather weakens the leaves, but are hardy plants that thrive in zones 6 and 10. Azaleas grow best in zones 7 and 8, where the conditions range from 80 to 75 degrees fahrenheit (- 14. 5 to 37.9 degrees celsius). If you live in a colder climate, you might consider growing a different type of plant. However, there are some types of azaleas that remain hardy in colder temperatures. When not planted, they will not do well in an area that has warmer winters. [title] Use a plastic container for planting your azaleas.
