Last year I bought a cheap little Azalea from Morrison's which produced a few flowers earlier this year.

Then in July it dropped it's leaves, possibly because I let the soil dry out, now over the past week it's started to bud lots of new small leaves, does this sound like normal behaviour?

Yes, but you are lucky it survived.

Thanks Keith, I think I'll over winter it in a cold frame, do I keep feeding it whilst the buds are still growing, and will they keep growing right through winter?

HI

It is too late in the year to be feeding now. Keep it away from frost through the winter.

fingers crossed!!

And now it has a flower bud this morning, a nice bright pink one.

Hi, remove flowers and the flower buds on a weak / recovering azelea, they look nice but they might be taking the energy from root development and leaves. I've had two azaleas die on me, both times after a healthy looking flower display.

There was only one bud so I had to go for the all or nothing approach.
