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 . 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..
