    This explains why. They all bloom on the growth made after flowering last year.

    Thank you very much for your help. I didn’t prune it last year which is obviously where I went wrong as now it’s leggy and looks odd haha. Thanks again.

    Mine wasn't pruned for years before I moved here and looks like sticks with a wig! I think some judicious pruning may be called for this year when the flowers go over.

    Haha! Sounds like we both have some serious TLC planned for our Azaleas after they finish flowering.
