Hi silveroak57
I love azaleas, my favourite flower.
I have one that has turned a coppery red. But I have left mine, has yours got new leaves from it [dunno] . Mine has, thats why I have left it.
Maybe someone else will come along and answer your question on what to do. And I could do the same.
And welcome to the forum, Nice to meet you.

Thanks for your input. I don't think I'm getting any new leaves. I never have luck with Azaleas but I keep buying them. Eilene

Hey, by the way,
where is Stockton????
Just outta curiousity?

Do you know your growing zone????

Usually red leaves, *THIS TIME OF YEAR*
just mean that the days and nights are getting
cooler and subject to leaves turning colors
like the sugar Maple..

Hi Hon!

There are several types of azalea that turn red in the fall, so not to worry! It's normal. In fact, it adds to the fall show of colors.
