: I bought a small azela at Walmart this weekend. How do I tell if it will winter well? We live in zone 5/6. Thanks.
MARY: The only way to know is to know the variety name. Azaleas have a wide hardiness range. Some varieties are for the more temperate zones. Where you live will take a rather hardy type. The Girard Azaleas are a good group. The other thing to consider is your soil type. Here in the Dayton area it is very difficult to have azaleas do very well. MVG PLant Dr.
