I had a new garden put in, including some azalea shrubs. I watered the garden using "Miracle grow" and THEN I found out that Azaleas should NOT be fertilized. Have I killed them? They still look healthy.

Also, do Azalea's produce volunteer seedlings? I have some unknown things growing that resemble the leaf pattern of the Azaleas.

Thanks.

Azaleas should not be fertilized? You can read, or be told, a lot of really whacko things. Don't worry about it.
If they do die, it won't be because you fertilized them.

Here's a place where you can find info about growing azaleas (for which the species name is Rhododendron, by way of explanation)... the American Rhododendron Society:
