Description

One of the best of the sun and heat-tolerant evergreen Southern Indica Azaleas, ‘Mrs. GG Gerbing’ displays LOADS of large, 3 to 4 inch showy funnel-shaped bright white flowers that nearly cover the foliage on large, mounding evergreen shrubs 6 to 8 feet tall and wide. A fine selection for a natural hedge or a sunny to partially shaded woodland border.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a large mound 6 to 8 feet tall and wide over time, the G. G. Gerbing Azalea is most useful as a natural hedge or in small to large groupings in landscape borders. The plants perform exceptionally well under tall pine trees. Also ideal for use as accents, corner plants or as espalier against large open walls in home foundation plantings. Lower branches can also be removed to form an attractive small evergreen tree serves well as a focal point in the landscape or large containers. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, purple theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Azalea variety is not reliably winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Southern Indica Azaleas are very easy to grow. They prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and full sun to part shade. That said, we think they perform and look their best with a little shade or filtered sunlight during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Established plants have good drought tolerance.
