Description

One of the best of the sun and heat-tolerant evergreen Southern Indica Azaleas, ‘George L. Taber’ displays LOADS of large, 3 to 4 inch showy funnel-shaped flowers with variegated light orchid and white petals with fuchsia-purple centers that nearly cover the foliage on large, mounding evergreen shrubs 6 to 8 feet tall and wide. A fine selection for a natural hedge or a sunny to partially shaded woodland border. Grows more rapidly than other types of azaleas.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a large mound 6 to 8 feet tall and wide over time, the George L. Taber Azalea is most useful as a natural hedge or in small to large groupings in landscape borders. The plants perform exceptionally well under tall pine trees. Also ideal for use as accents, corner plants or as espalier against large open walls in home foundation plantings. Lower branches can also be removed to form an attractive small evergreen tree for use as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, purple theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b, where this Azalea variety is not reliably winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Southern Indica Azaleas are very easy to grow. They prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and full sun to part shade. That said, we think they perform and look their best with a little shade or filtered sunlight during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Established plants have good drought tolerance.

We are replanting the shrubs around our wraparound porch and it was a daunting task to undertake! We debated about where to buy our plants and on an impulse I had them shipped to us from Wilson Brothers. I could not be happier with the plants, which all shows up in great condition and have flourished in our yard. I will be buying additional plants from them in the future!——————————-WBG Reply: Hi Natalie, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the George L, Tabor Azalea.
