How long do azalea flowers live?

21 years ago

I purchased 4 azaleas last spring. The flowers of one is very much like the picture on the forum page. The flowers of the other 3 are different from that one, but they are all the same just different colors. Please forgive that I don't know their names.

The one like the forum page blossomed about a month ago. The others didn't blossom for probably 2 weeks later. They seemed to really struggle, as our weather here in Michigan has been very up and down. Very few warm days of spring. I water them at the same time I water the lawn for 90 minutes to provide 1 inch once a week. However, I have not had to irrigate often or on a regular basis. We have had rainfall this past week for 2 or 3 days. They are all dying back now. Is this normal? Will they come back. They were all in bloom when I purchased them and lasted all summer. The fertilizing I did was worm castings tea (not really a fertilizer), fish hydrolysate, seaweed, and molasses. They all blossomed since that application.

Thank you so much for your help

Mallory
