Hi Kent, Insects might be the cause and it would help if you told us where you lived. I haven't heard of azaleas themselves causing such a problem, only other...
Kent, it helps to answer questions about your azaleas if you include some information on where you live. Are the azaleas evergreen or deciduous? By the way, I...
I have experienced this same itching when working in azaleas in the nursery. I don't think it is insects, as I see no evidence of their presence. Nor do I...

Kent and Vivian. You probably got "chiggers" on your skin. I use "Permethrin Pro". Use one ounce of concentrate per 1,000 square feet of area to be treated....
Kent and Vivian, The hazard labels warn against using insecticides Orthene and Mitixide. What you contracted could have possibly been chiggers, i.e. red bug...
No, it wasn't chiggers that caused an itching from azaleas. I am well familiar with chiggers. Used to get them when I went blackberry-picking. Vivian ... ...
Bill, Yes, exactly. The itching and rash is temporary in nature. Another person here at the nursery has been affected, but others not at all. Vivian ... ...
JT The label on pesticides is a standard warning that is used because that is what the government requires, If you read the warnings ( side affects ) on your...
Well folks, if you missed this year's convention in the Piney Woods of Eastern Texas, you will surely find your boot kicking yourself in the posterior. The WOW...
Thank you Bruce for the smaller photo size. I'm getting around to opening my e-mails after arriving back home last night from Texas. Joe Schild-Hixson, TN USDA...
Pauline, I hesitated to respond to your request because frankly up here in Md. they sell most of the florist azaleas with only the word azalea on the...
Hi Earl, No, the warnings on Orthene and the miticide are quite legitimate. They should be handled very carefully. And, no, not everything is dangerous as...
This is from ASK US page, so please send me a CC. My azaleas are just beginning to bloom and we are expecting an unexpected hard freeze by the weekend. Is...

Suzie, the only remedy that I can think of is to do a modification of the technique used by some when cost is no impediment. They erect a tall fence around the...
Mary, The freeze and frosts you are expecting will also impact us here in the Tennessee Valley at Chattanooga. Since I live in a frost pocket where cold air...
Bob, Only the first of your first three pictures looks like Fawn to me -- light center and purplish border. I have been growing Fawn for many years and do not...
Hi Joe: Quite beautiful and thanks. It must have been quite a tour. Bruce Clyburn New Waterford, NS Canada ... From: Joe Schild To: azaleas@yahoogroups.com ...
Dan, this is the first flowering of the Glenn Dale 'Fawn' rootings, and the 1st picture is the flower form of two of the three plants. As I said, the...
By the way, that pic I sent with the lantern looking bloom is the Mexican Dogwood, Cornus florida var. pringelei. The tip of the bracts are fused at the tips...
Dan, I was just about to put my foot in my mouth and ask you if the 6 petals wasn't atypical and look what I found in my pictures Buck From: Krabill, Daniel ...
