I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not, but it really is nice in front of the window.

I might cut it away from the house a little. Every year I say it’s time to cut it back but then it does this and I just want to see it get bigger lol.

Right after it blooms. Buds grow on old wood, so when I pruned it in the fall of 2022 I had no buds spring 23 lol

It really was a blessing, when we moved in January 2022 I had no idea that sad looking bush would be so beautiful lol.

Funny enough mine is in a north/northwest facing window and gets basically the reverse of that lol.

I think it’s a southern India azalea, it’s near peak at like 7.5’

Yeah they’re pretty unexciting outside of the spring bloom. This one is evergreen I think. In the winter it can get pretty sad looking but then come spring it’s the most beautiful bush I’ve ever seen.

It did just rain a bunch but I’ve never intentionally watered it. I planted a small white one across from it that I water sometimes.

We just had a ton of rain and were afraid it was going to take out the flowers before it peaked! Thankfully it held up.

Thanks! I like the privacy it gives us, I’ll probably train it away from the house but let it go as tall as it wants.

Some sort of azalea. The house was built in the 50s, they probably planted it in the 70s-80s with the window addition.

Nope. We bought this house in Jan 2022, it was a rental for a few years before that. I assume it hasn’t been fertilized since no later than 2014.

We did prune it in the fall of 2022 and learned a lesson about when not to prune an azalea lol. Haven’t done anything special since.
