Description
Description
Resistant to the heat and sun, but nevertheless a great power, the George Tabor will find itself at home in brightly lit sunny environments where a large pretty bloom is needed.
- SUN & HEAT TOLERANT: Great for environments in which it may be subject to more heat or sun than elsewhere, it’s the right choice for any brightly lit garden.
- RAPID GROWTH: Growing faster than many of its fellow azaleas, this plant can reach an impressive 8 feet tall with the spread to match its height.
- SHOWY SINGLE BLOOMS: Blooming with a very showy light orchid variegated accompanied by some white, the George Tabor adds great ascetic value wherever it’s placed.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
Shipping:
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
When to Ship:
We can ship out plants at anytime of the year pruned or not pruned, cold or not cold. Each plant’s durabilty is different so we recommend having them shipped in their designated season but we will still ship your plant to you earlier if you choose so.
Returns:
Because plants are perishable they cannot be returned without prior permission. We work hard to ensure all plants arrive healthy, but on rare occasions issues with the plant health upon delivery do arise.
Every single shipped plant is healthy upon departing our facility but if a plant is received in poor health contact us immediately so that we can assess the problem and work on saving the plant. We will first need a photo of the plant to start a claim. If we determine your plant cannot be recovered we will send you a replacement immediately. If notified of the plants health within 4 days we will send a replacement 100% free of charge.
If you determine the plant not to be healthy 4 days after delivery you can contact us and we will issue a 50% store credit.
30 days after delivery we cannot be held responsible for the current health of the plant.

Questions & Answers

Hi, Can I plan George L. Tabor Azalea in the summer? I bought one from Home Depot and it is looking dead to me even I have waited for a month but nothing coming out. It looks like the dried stick. Should I wait until fall to order this plant from you? Thanks, Ha
George L. Tabor Azalea is best planted in fall or early spring to establish roots before extreme temperatures. Planting in summer can stress the plant, especially in hot climates. If your current plant looks dried out with no new growth after a month, it may not recover. You can try scratching the stem—if it’s green underneath, it’s still alive. Otherwise, it may be best to reorder in fall for better success.
-
At what temp does this azalea need to be covered in the winter when it is experiencing its first winter?
A George Tabor azalea should be covered when temperatures drop below 25°F (-3.8°C) during its first winter. Young azaleas are more vulnerable to cold damage, especially in their first season, so protecting them with a frost blanket or burlap can help ensure they survive freezing temperatures. Make sure to cover them before any hard freeze, particularly during the night. Mulching around the base also helps insulate the roots.
-
It blooms all year around ?
No, George Tabor azaleas do not bloom year-round. This variety typically produces a spectacular bloom in spring, with a possible lighter rebloom in the fall if conditions are right, especially in warmer climates. However, it won't flower continuously throughout the year.

Can I keep the Bush trimmed to a shorter height?
Yes, you can trim George Tabor azaleas to maintain a shorter height. Prune them right after flowering to avoid cutting off next year's buds.
-
Fertilizer? When what npk? Water amount?
the fertilizer we use is 18-6-8. Water amount is as needed for the plant.
The George Tabor azaleas, which I chose to match my climate zone, arrived in very good condition and seem happy in their new home. They are now planted in a prepared bed and seem to be getting established very well. I'm pretty certain they will survive. Nice, strong plants! I am very pleased indeed.
Nice healthy plants and shipped well
Packaging was great. Shrubs were in great condition.
We got several 1 gallon azaleas and they came well packed and very vigorous. Nice size for the pot they were in. They are doing well so far.
