    Normally this time of the year my garden is full of colour from the many different coloured Azaleas I have collected over the years.
    This year it as been a bit of a poor show.
    I hope it's just a one off and they don't have some kind of disease.
    I love them.
    Some have flowers some have only flowered on half the plant a couple look half dead.
    Any advise please.

    It was a very cold winter Lyn. Maybe some of the buds got frosted. Dead head the plants if you can and give them a feed and hopefully they will recover for next year. Some of mine put on quite a good show in the autumn so maybe you'll get a wee bonus.
