Azalea ‘Girard’s Pleasant White’, commonly known as Azalea, is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its profusion of pure white blooms and year-round garden presence. Blooming in mid to late spring, this variety produces large, lightly fragrant white flowers that stand out against its deep green foliage. Reaching 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it forms a dense, mounded shape that works well in foundation plantings, shaded borders, or grouped in mass for a dramatic spring display. Its evergreen leaves add structure through all seasons and may take on a purplish tint in winter.

No. ‘Girard’s Pleasant White’ is a hybrid evergreen azalea, developed using primarily Asian azalea species. While it was bred in the U.S. for ornamental use, it is a non-native cultivar and does not provide the same ecological benefits as native azalea species like Rhododendron atlanticum or Rhododendron canescens.
‘Girard’s Pleasant White’ is known for its pure white blooms, which appear in mid to late spring and often have a faint green or yellowish tint at the throat. It has a dense, mounded form, typically growing 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, making it a favorite for foundation plantings, borders, and mass groupings.
This azalea grows best in partial shade, with protection from hot afternoon sun. It prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8 and benefits from mulching and regular watering, especially during dry spells.
Yes. The white spring blooms can attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, especially when planted in masses. However, as a hybrid, it does not support native caterpillars or insect larvae, so its wildlife value is limited compared to native azalea species.
Azaleas are moderately deer-resistant, but can still be browsed in areas with high deer populations. ‘Girard’s Pleasant White’ is low-maintenance once established and benefits from light pruning after flowering to maintain its compact shape.
