Hi,

I have a couple of questions and hope that you experts out there can
help me with them:

1) I have 8 azaleas, each about 1' high x 1' wide. They look very
sparse. Four of them didn't even bloom. The four that bloomed didn't
have a lot of flowers. What can I do to improve foliage and flowers
for next year? Also, will they bloom again this year or do they bloom
only once a year? Do I need to deadhead them? How do I do that? Cut
off the petals and the little antennas (not sure what they are
called)? I'm in zone 6/7.

2) I also have some Happy Returns Daylilies. Do I need to deadhead
them also? Do I deadhead all plants or just certain ones? How can I
know?

3) I also have some yellow Asiatic lilies. I bought them from Home
Depot. They are sold under the "perennial" section but have no label
to the specific cultivar. I didn't know that they are bulbous. Does
it mean that I need to dig them up and store them some where during
the winter months and replant them during the spring?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You can dead head the daylilies if you wish. I try to dead head my
reblooming daylilies because it keeps them looking better and supposedly it
encourages reblooming. Your Asiatic lilies should be fine in zone 6 or 7,
you don't have to lift them. I will let the azalea experts answer your
first question.
