Fort Smith Lawn Care | When can you trim Azaleas?

With the spring fast approaching, people are getting ready to start their spring cleaning and pruning, and Cutting Edge is getting ready to help them in more ways than one. We’re here to drop a PSA for everyone wanting to trim their Azaleas and wondering if it’s the right time. And if not, when is?

Well it’s very simple to understand and know. You can’t trim them whenever you want, because most azaleas only bloom once a year in the spring, and they reseed in the summer. So this leaves us a short window to trim them in. If you cut them after they’ve reseeded and before they bloom, then you have no pretty flowers that year.

The trick is to watch when they bud, it’s impossible to miss the beautiful flowers, and then a couple months later when the flowers fall off, you have a short opportunity to trim them before they reseed for the next year.

Know before you trim, and don’t cost yourself the beauty of your garden. Cutting Edge can help you with all of your landscaping needs this year. Just give us a call.
