robstables,
Hello and welcome to the forum. Tree of a thousand stars is the common name for Serissa foetida not Azalea. This is a sub-tropical evergreen and should be protected from low temperatures. They have the reputation of being difficult to keep. Look here for some information on basic care.

This is a species that is not in my collection but there are some others here who do grow them, perhaps they will see this. I will edit the title of this thread to better reflect the subject.
