Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust.  Azaleas are prone to many diseases and pest problems, but the proper environment and care should negate most of them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLANDSCAPE USES: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Accents or Group Plantings, \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/border\" title=\"Borders\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBorders\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/shade-garden\" title=\"Woodland Gardens\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWoodland Gardens\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/wildlife-garden\" title=\"Wildlife Gardens\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWildlife Gardens\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/sustainable-garden\" title=\"Naturalized Areas\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eNaturalized Areas\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e Foundational Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOMPANION PLANTS:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/zone-9\/products\/azalea-fashion?_pos=6\u0026amp;_sid=29bd6cec0\u0026amp;_ss=r\u0026amp;variant=21306899824758\"\u003eAzalea \u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan href=\"\/products\/acer-palmatum-dissectum-viridis?_pos=9\u0026amp;_sid=521b40ec8\u0026amp;_ss=r\u0026amp;variant=29481477374070\"\u003eJapanese Maple\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan href=\"\/collections\/zone-9\/products\/camellia-gunsmoke?_pos=8\u0026amp;_sid=f3e8e0860\u0026amp;_ss=r\u0026amp;variant=22608697262198\"\u003eCamellia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMAGES\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhoto by David J.
