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

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?

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.

I just got my plants today. I ordered 3 different kinds of azaleas in 1 gallon size. Indican George Taber, Indica Judge Solomon, and Voodoo. My package got hung up over memorial day shipping and I was worried that the plants would arrive baked and wilted. I got the box Tuesday afternoon. I opened it and was shocked to see 3 huge and healthy plants. Very pleased with how large the plants are. The way they package them ensures nothing moves. They even secured the soil into the pots! I have already begun to recommend Wilson Bros Garden to all my friends. I am definitely going to order here again. A little pricey, but way worth it in the end. Thank you so much for these gorgeous azaleas. I will be planting them tomorrow!———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG
