Azaleas generally need a slightly acidic soil.  They should be planted in an area with good drainage and a medium amount of sun light.  Protection from wind is also helpful.  Using a soil additive such as Miracle Grow for Azaleas will help give them the proper soil acidity.  If you live in an area where the winters are very cold it is a good idea to mulch heavily in the fall to protect the plants and then remove some mulch in the spring.

How To Plant Azaleas

You need to make sure the land is well drained and the soil must be a tad bit acidic. Also make sure there is not too much sunlight, just enough to make it grow. Once that is done then you will have azaleas growing in no time.
