I have a new small azalea in a pot but it has produced no buds - do you think it might for next year.Its true that its been very dry in the garden.Also my large potted rhodo has been eaten by Squirrels- they have eaten all but four of the buds! Not doing too well here in Rochester!
I would try repotting the Azelea in the Autumn with some fresh ericaceous compost. Meanwhile, avoid using tap water to water it, and try and use rain water. Our tap water in Medway is high in calcium and not very acidic.
