    Hi all :)

    As you may have gathered my azelea hasn't flowered yet and I was wondering if anybody has any idea as to why. :(

    The only reason I can think of is the fact that it was transplanted about this time last year after flowering and it may well be having a huff. It has put on a load of new growth since it went in and it seemed quite happy, although it gets very little sun it is in a bright and sheltered spot.

    it sounds like it might be just having a year off!.... if it looks healthy , the don't worry, you might have fed it well when you moved it and it's just too happy!

    One cause of non flowering in Azalas, Rhodos and Camelias can be they were too dry in the late summer of the previous year, when the flower buds were forming, so try to ensure they get a little extra at this time of year.

    A bright and sheltered spot, out of direct sun is perfect for them.
