Azalea flowers?

i received azalea flowers for easter. I keep them in the house and they look like they died. I had also received tulips and they died inside. I replanted the tulips outside even though they will not grow back until next year. I really dont know anything about azalea%26#039;s and i was wondering if they can be replanted or if there is anything that will bring them back to life.





There are green leaves on them still and the stems look good there are just no pink flowers on them. Is it dead or they bloomed and will come back next year? Do i need to keep watering them even though there are no flowers?





I also live in Long Island....Here we have all four seasons will they survive outside where i live?

Azalea flowers?
The Long Island climate is very favorable to azaleas. They bloom for a few weeks each spring and make a spectacular display then the flowers die and they grow leaves for the rest of the summer. Get those plants dug in outside as soon as possible, and keep them well watered. They need a semi-sunny spot. You can also fertilize them with MirAcid (MiracleGro for acid-loving plants).
Reply:I had a similar situation this year. Mine are in the ground and this is their first year. The flowers turned brown after a decent frost but the leaves are still green and healthy. I talked to my grandparents who have been farmers for over 60 years. They said to make sure to water them twice a week and they still would not bloom again until next spring. They also said that they are hearty plants and will probable survive most weather conditions (but we live in Alabama).
Reply:The azaleas will flower once a year in the spring and give you a nice bush during the growing season. I%26#039;m not sure if you received the azalea bush from a florist or greenhouse, but sometimes the ones from the florist are just ornamental and will not thrive outdoors.
Reply:azalea flowers or bush? The bush should have planted outside..they are not houseplants. Plant it and water it well. Azaleas only flower in the spring for a short time.
Reply:Yes plant them outside.......It should survive.....
