Lemon Lush Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility and part shade, preferably morning and/or evening sun with shade or filtered sun in the afternoon. Some suggest full sun tolerance throughout the zones where it is listed hardy, however, we always like to play it safe so as mentioned a break from direct afternoon sun in hotter climates. Once established plants are quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is spoiling the natural form of the plant.
