Growing Preferences Evergreen Azaleas are easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. They prefer a moist but well-drained and acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and part sun. Constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic, so make sure to plant in a well-drained site. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun is ideal. Moderate drought tolerance when established.
