How to Grow and Care for White azalea

White azalea

White azalea thrive in well-draining, acidic soil and require moderate water, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. They demand partial shade, as too much direct sun can damage leaves and flowers. A critical special care point for white azalea is protection from strong winds and careful monitoring of soil pH, ensuring it remains acidic for optimal growth and bloom.

Varieties of White azalea
Img topic
White azalea 'Narcissiflorum'

The white azalea 'Narcissiflorum' has uniquely scented double flowers that distinguish it from other Azaleas. The parentage is unknown although it is thought to have been hybridized in the 1850s. Its name is derived from its resemblance to daffodils (the genus Narcissus) and the word, ‘florum,’ meaning flower, in full meaning ‘daffodil-like flowers.’ The white azalea 'Narcissiflorum' is good for small gardens.

White azalea 'Directeur Moerlands'

White azalea 'Directeur Moerlands' is a deciduous mollis-type azalea. It was developed for its large, pale orange flowers and for its cold-hardiness. This type of azalea is fairly tolerant of all soil types, although it must be well-drained. The flowers are showy and long-lasting and have an excellent fragrance.

White azalea 'Daviesii'

Where most rhododendrons have pink or blue flowers in the wild, white azalea 'Daviesii' features lovely five-petaled white flowers with a splash of yellow on just one petal. These bright and unique blooms, which are fragrant, showy, and attract butterflies and hummingbirds, make this a popular choice for landscaped gardens. This hybrid was bred and named by I. Davies.

White azalea 'Golden Oriole'

A hybrid of Asian and United States azalea varieties, the white azalea 'Golden Oriole' was bred during the late 19th century.
