My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Azalea & Rhododendron

Sun Requirement

13 years ago

Hello,

I just bought an azalea. It has white flowers with pink on the edges. It's gorgeous!

I originally wanted to put it out on the back deck but it gets full sun from 11am on to the evening. I have done some reading and it would seem they don't like so much sun.

I have a spot in the front yard, but my concern is that it might be too much shade. It will get shade for the most part of the day as there is a big tree that grows over the spot.

Do you think it would do better on the back deck or in the front yard?

Thanks for all your help!
