Rhododendron 'George L. Taber'

George L. Taber Azalea brings pale orchid-pink and white spring flowers to the landscape. Unlike a generic green shrub, its particular combination of color, growth habit, and seasonal interest makes it useful for a woodland edge or loose flowering hedge. At maturity, expect about 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide; allow enough space for the natural outline rather than crowding it against a wall or neighboring plants.

Why Gardeners Love George L. Taber Azalea

- Large spring flower clusters: Adds a recognizable feature to mixed plantings and makes the garden feel intentional rather than crowded.

- Soft two-tone color: Offers visual interest that can be appreciated from paths, patios, and windows as the seasons change.

- Evergreen structure: Provides a useful point of contrast when paired with plants of different foliage texture and bloom color.

- A broad informal hedge: Helps create a layered landscape when placed where its mature size and natural habit can develop.

- A lush understory effect: Makes a thoughtful choice for gardeners who want ornamental impact without relying on annual replanting.

Where to Plant George L. Taber Azalea

Choose filtered light or partial shade and use it in a woodland edge or loose flowering hedge. Its mature size of about 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide is worth planning around before planting. Give the roots room to spread, keep the planting depth level with the surrounding soil, and avoid locations where runoff collects after storms.

Growing and Care Tips

Plant in slightly acidic, organic-rich, freely draining soil. Keep the shallow root area cool with mulch, water thoroughly during establishment, and avoid waterlogged soil. In heavy clay, improve drainage across a broad planting area rather than creating a small pocket that holds water. Check moisture by feeling the soil rather than watering on a fixed daily schedule. A two- to three-inch mulch layer helps conserve moisture, but keep mulch clear of the main stems.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Azalea, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, or Camellia as they all prefer fall planting with less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting these varities.
