Noteworthy Characteristics
The George Taber Azalea is one of the best of the sun and heat-tolerant evergreen Southern India Azaleas. Grows more rapidly than other types of azaleas to 8 feet tall with an equal spread. In spring, large, white flowers striped in pinkish-purple nearly cover the foliage.
Uses
George Taber Azalea is most useful as a natural hedge or in small to large groupings in landscape beds. Performs exceptionally well under tall pine trees. Also useful in home foundation plantings, espalier (grown flat against a wall), or "limbed up" to be a small tree for containers or garden beds.
Culture & Care Tips
Azaleas prefer a well draining, moist and acidic soil rich in organic matter. With the exception of Southern Indica and Encore Azaleas, most azaleas prefer some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of the day. Follow the links below for expert planting and care tips.
