How long do azaleas last?

Spring is the season when azaleas flower.

Specifically, the ornamental in question depends upon northerly orientations, slightly acidic soil in the pH range of 4.5 - 5.5, 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of water per week, uncompacted ground, and weak access to light from morning to mid-afternoon. Too high temperatures and too strong light may cause branches to warm and buds to break before the ground thaws. If the environmental conditions are correct and supportive, then azaleas will produce strong spring blooms, which may be repeated in the late summer and early fall by certain varieties.
