The flowers are a vibrant shade of pink, with ruffled petals that are tinged with a lighter pink at the edges. The plant has a compact, rounded form and typically grows to a height of 4-6 feet and a spread of 3-5 feet. This Azalea is a great choice for use in borders, foundation plantings, or as an accent in a mixed shrub border. It prefers well-drained, acidic soil, and partial shade to filtered sun. 'George L. Taber' is an easy-care plant that requires little maintenance beyond occasional pruning to remove dead or damaged wood. In addition to its stunning spring blooms, 'George L.

Taber' is a beautiful and versatile plant that is sure to add a burst of color to any landscape.  

Choose a partially shaded location with well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant the azalea slightly higher than the surrounding soil to promote proper drainage. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Apply mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch away from the base of the plant.

Azalea ‘George L. Taber’ is a vigorous, evergreen azalea prized for its large, soft pink flowers with darker speckling and glossy green foliage. It thrives in partial shade and consistently moist, acidic soil. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged.

Fertilize after flowering with an azalea or acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune lightly after blooming to maintain shape and size. Known for its heat tolerance, this variety performs especially well in southern landscapes.
