Azalea southern indica ‘George Tabor’ is an evergreen hybrid shrub known for its large, orchid-pink flowers. Ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, privacy screens, containers, and woodland gardens. It prefers partial shade or filtered sun; will need protection from hot afternoon sun. Best in humus-rich, well-draining acidic soil. Water needs are moderate; it requires consistently moist soil but cannot tolerate standing water. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 5°F but better in warmer climates. Note that all Azaleas are now classified as Rhododendrons.
