Azalea

About Azalea

Tiny, sap-sucking Azalea lace bugs cause conspicuous speckling on leaves, leading to a bleached or stippled appearance that weakens azaleas and other ornamental shrubs. These pests thrive in the warm climate of Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Spring Hill, and can cause premature leaf drop if left untreated. Regular monitoring and timely insecticide applications help protect your landscape investment.
