What’s wrong with my plant?
I planted this deciduous mandarin azalea bush in May and now it’s not looking too good. I’ve fertilized it twice and water it heavily once a week. It’s in a pretty sunny spot for Seattle. Does this look normal? What should I do to improve it’s health?
20” pot with drainage

No it's not normal. It looks like she's getting too much sun. They do better with indirect light. They can handle some sun but they don't appreciate the 10-2 sun. It's too direct for them. It cooks them and then they get sun-stressed. And then they get those brown tips. It shouldn't kill her, as long as she has plenty of water. But, you can always expect her to get the sun stressed leaves when in direct sun.
When I used to have them in my yard at my old house they did really well on the North side of my house.
