New outdoor azaela in NY winter was created by waterford55

Hello, I would appreciate suggestions for where to put my new small outdoor azalea (which shipped with one bloom) in a hardiness zone 6B. Temperatures now ranging from 15 F to 40s F, most day time temps now in mid 30s . Nighttime mostly in 20s-30s. I have an outdoor shed (minimal light) I can use, or a porch with mostly shade.
Any help appreciated to keep this little tree alive. Thank you!

Bill Valvanis would be a good source of help, at International 名媛直播. He is in Rochester so pretty close to you. In about October (I think) he moves most everything into a large shed with a small heater aimed at keeping temps not too far below freezing. They stay there until March (again, I think).

You want sun, if possible, but you want to keep it cold so it can be dormant for a while.

The particular species of azalea would probably matter.
