The Girards Pleasant White Azalea will be a focal point in any garden! Large pure white flowers, which are lightly scented and trumpet shaped, blanket this beautiful shrub for about a month during the mid to late spring. Its narrow leaves hold their dark green color throughout the year. Girards Pleasant White is a multi-stemmed compact shrub that has an upright spreading growth habit. If needed, it is best to prune immediately after flowering to avoid damage to the following spring's blooms. This elegant shrub should be protected from strong winter winds. Perfect for use in mass plantings or as a single specimen, this low growing shrub works well in mixed borders, in woodland gardens or in foundation plantings. Relatively low maintenance.
