Default De-boring my azaleas

Hi all:

Has anyone had any luck moving azaleas? I have four shrubs, roundish and
about knee-high, in the traditional, boring plonk-plonk-all-in-a-row
foundation planting along the front porch of my house. They were a
little rough-looking when I moved in, but now they're quite healthy. I'd
like to put them elsewhere on my property and plant something more
interesting along the house.

I don't know how old they are -- the house is a bit over 20, but the
smallness of the shrubs would indicate to me that they're not that old.

Thanks

Margaret

I've had alot of luck moving azaleas. Just be sure not to plant
them too deep! Depending on the depth of the roots, if there is
no large/long tap root, you can just plop them down and cover the
roots with dirt. Don't overwater.
Good luck,
Raleighgirl
