|
|
spring

summer
|
|

winter

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The best time to prune is within a three week period after they finish blooming in spring and have begun to discolor and shrivel. This gives the azaleas plenty of time to make flower buds (which appear as pale, fuzzy buds curled tight on the tips of branches) for next year.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the shrubs bloom in the summer or fall, prune them in late winter or early spring. If the shrubs bloom in spring, prune them after their blooms wither and die. If shrubs need very heavy, regenerative pruning, prune them in later winter or early spring.
