Plant gift Azaleas outdoors?

[laura c]

I have an Azalea someone gave me as a gift, in a small pot. I was trying to see online if they can be planted outdoors, as Ive often seen beautiful azalea bushes in bloom. Different sites say different things. One says greenhouse azaleas wont live outdoors, one said it depends on the variety (which I have no idea of, there was no tag with a name or such)..I'm confused. Im in zone 6.

When you buy azalaes, they look very nice and pretty, but they are not so easy to look after, as they are a bit delicate. They like acid soils, so no alkaline soils, (no calcium) and like rich humus soil. They need quite a lot of water in summer and less in winter.
Trim dead flowers after blooming.
