Details
With many azalea varieties growing to 6’ (and larger), Gumpo White is the perfect dwarf variety for all of your smaller garden needs. Growing to just 2’ tall and 3’ wide, this white-flowering azalea creates a lovely low-growing accent for mass plantings, container gardens, patios, and courtyards, as well as for front-of-the-border plantings for larger gardens. The blooms feature a subtle reddish-pink splotchy pattern with ruffled edges, and the valuable evergreen foliage makes this plant a year-round winner in any garden. Plant it for beauty, structure, and to attract pollinators like butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It’s a late spring bloomer, too, so plan to pair it with earlier spring varieties to keep the azalea flowers coming throughout the season. Keep an eye on deep and regular watering during the first growing season to get its roots established, then maintain even soil moisture afterwards. Make sure your soil is well-drained and enriched so Gumpo White can deliver all of these amazing features to your garden each year.
