Azalea- Full sun or partial sun

[Ramman]

I am going to prune my nursery chizen azalea all the way down. I hear different points of view about sun. Care ,full or partial. I can keep outside exposed to full sun or I have a screened in patio open on two sides and on top for partial. What would be best after heavy prune,and after growth starts Thanks in advance

Nice with single trunk. I have not done a hard prune on mine yet, so I will also be interested to see what others have to say in response to this post. I live at a high elevation and only give my azaleas a short period of morning sun.

most azaleas take partial sun. if you bought it at a local nursery and it was in full sun where you found it, then chances are that it can take full sun, but you would have to watch out for leaf burn in the summer to confirm

It really depends on where you are. If your summer is cool and rarely gets over 85F, then it doesn't really matter that much. But if your summer is usually over 90F, then morning sun and afternoon shade is a safer bet.
Also, you watering regime and potting medium matter. It all depends...
