Rhododendron ‘Pleasant White’ – Pleasant White Azalea

Description

Pleasant White Azalea is a low growing hybrid evergreen azalea
with
 small leaves and fragrant pure white flowers in spring.
  A very versatile plant that prefers 
partial sun
 with acidic rich, well-drained soils.  Azaleas are excellent 
pollination
 and 
butterfly attractors
.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  A low maintenance plant.  Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot.  Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Can use sulfur or iron sulfate to lower ph, and lime or limestone to raise PH.  Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust.

LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Foundational Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Clethra, Fringed Bleeding Heart, Camellia
