A:  We would recommend at least covering your plants during spells of harsh winter with a tarp or burlap. If your temperatures are going to be getting much below the recommended growing temperatures(10° or below) or going to be receiving a lot of snow/ice consider moving your plants inside a garage until the extreme weather has passed. Don't conver your plants for the entire winter - They do still need to receive sunlight and water throughout the winter to survive.

A:  When dropping below freezing, I would take to garage or inside until temperatures rise again!!!

A:  My azaleas are planted in my front yard where it gets partial shade from a tree in the yard and partial sun and they have done fine.

A:  We recommend at least 4-6 hours of sun per day. If you are in zone 7B+ you might be ok with this planting, if you are in a colder zone we do not think this would work. I would recommend planting just 1 in the area that you described to see if it does alright before investing in multiple plants for this location.

A:  They are hardy in zones 7-9. So probably not hardy in Massachusetts, but you could try bringing it in for the winter.

A:  As long as you're located in USDA Zone 7a-10b, they should do fine.

A:  There is no indication on the tag that these plants are deer resistant.

A:  If you search that question in the form of "do deer like azealas" on a search engine, you will find several replies that they "do indeed" like azaleas. Don't know how many deer are in your area. If only one now and then, take a chance and buy the plant...they are inexpensive. Try them for a year. If all are devoured, then try something else in the future or maybe invest in some deer repellent pellets, liquid or other tricks the Home Depot sells to deter the deer from your shrubs. Good luck.

A:  Yes, they are deer resistant.

A:  Yes, all of the Encore Azaleas are Evergreen when planted in the appropriate zone. Some of our varieties may experience some shedding some of their leaves and thin during winter months to full out again full in spring
