Description

An early to mid-spring bloomer, the ‘White Alabama’ native Azalea, scientifically known as Rhododendron alabamense, features large clusters of beautiful white tubular, trumpet-shaped flowers that resemble those of honeysuckle, only much larger. The strongly fragrant flowers have a wonderful lemon scent. The upper petal is sometimes splashed with soft yellow and you might even see a touch of pink on occasion. This species is more drought tolerant than most other native azaleas because it tends to grow in drier woodlands naturally. If conditions are favorable, due to its stoloniferous nature you might end up with a colony. Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and maybe as wide over time, Pink Alabama is best in part shade with average to dry soils. A natural beauty that will delight the senses with both its beauty and intoxicating perfume!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and equally as wide, the White Alabama Native Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide dappled shade and moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Can be grown as a shrub or lower branches removed to form a highly attractive small tree. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, native plant gardens, and cottage gardens.

Spacing: We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge. Space plants 14 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

White Alabama Native Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil and dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Once established it is quite drought tolerant requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is growing way outside the natural form of the plant, but not so much that it would spoil the natural form of this beautiful shrub.
