Planting After The Storm

Planted 3 deciduous azaleas in the back woodlands garden, all about 15" tall and generously branched: 1 exbury azalea 'brazil' "tangerine red", and 2 viscosepalum "pale yellowish white, fragrant". These are situated where a spruce came down in the memorable March storm. Behind the azaleas a southern magnolia was planted, about 2 weeks ago, to replace the screening the spruce had afforded. The conditions should be ideal; my concern is the flaming color of the 'brazil'. Clashing colors are a risk here but there is no way to know for sure until it blooms in situ. Hoping for a vibrant contrast with the nearby rhododendrons.
Also planted Cornus Controversa Variegata out front in an area of the azalea bed, which I extended today. This bed fronted an enormous red oak, which was also dramatically lost in the storm. The Cornus I am confident will be stunning, provided it thrives.
Normal care with root balls, soil amendments, and watering were provided in all cases.
