Azalea ‘Gumpo White’, commonly known as Gumpo White Azalea, is a dwarf evergreen azalea cultivar valued for its large, pure white spring flowers and compact, spreading habit. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this low-growing shrub produces showy, funnel-shaped blooms that stand out against its small, glossy dark green foliage. Typically growing 1 to 2 feet tall and spreading wider than tall, Gumpo White Azalea is an excellent choice for foundation plantings, low borders, rock gardens, and containers. It thrives in part shade with acidic, well-drained soil kept evenly moist.
