Product Description

The White Southern Indian Azalea (Rhododendron indicum 'Alba') is an elegant evergreen flowering shrub admired for its abundant pure white, funnel-shaped flowers set against glossy green foliage. Its refined appearance makes it an excellent choice for adding a classic, sophisticated touch to shaded gardens, borders and patio containers.

This compact, bushy azalea creates a particularly impressive display when planted in groups, forming a beautiful carpet of white flowers during its flowering period. Its evergreen foliage also provides attractive structure outside the main flowering season. Rhododendron indicum is naturally suited to acidic, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil and performs best in partial or dappled shade.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use when grown in a bright position indoors or a sheltered, partially shaded position outdoors.
