TY for the mulch suggestion jay-t! I have a mulch of pine needles on them now. Here's a pic of the existing azealas in my back and side gardens. I haven't taken any of the new ones up front yet. You can see that the hosta are bigger than the azeala. The hosta love this spot...but I'm thinking the azeala don't care for it at all! I'm doing my best to ammend the soil for them and just let them go this season and see what happens.
