QuestionsHow to growTrees and ShrubsPlantingMoving an Azalea 0 Vote Up Vote Down Else O\’Neill asked 16 years ago I have read many things and still not sure on this one. I want to move an azalea plant from a planter. I have read to do it after it flowers and then some say do it now – early Spring. What do you suggest? Thanks! 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago Any time is okay as long as you water it in a dry spell of more than 5 days. If there is root disturbance involved, do it in November.
