To capture additional water during the first year, I usually use any left over soil to build a water retention ring about an inch or two high around the planting hole.
If the ground is level, I always plant azaleas with the top edge of the root ball about an inch or so above ground level, then taper the backfill soil mixture from the top edge of the root ball gradually to existing grade. When planting azaleas in clay or compacted soil, I always dig the planting hole about three times the width of the root ball and add in about 1/3 mushroom compost, or some other form of organic matter, to 2/3 of the native soil removed from the planting hole. When planting azaleas in well-drained, loose, fertile soil I usually add just a few handfuls of organic matter or compost to the backfill mix and plant with the top edge of the rootball even with or slightly above ground level. They are hybrids of parents from the Kurume and Southern Indica azalea lines and may rebloom in late summer and fall.
