Azalea ‘Gumpo White’, commonly known as Azalea, is a dwarf evergreen shrub known for its crisp white blooms and compact, spreading habit. This late-blooming variety flowers in late spring to early summer, extending the azalea season with large, ruffled white flowers that often have a hint of pink at the center. Reaching just 1 to 2 feet tall and spreading up to 3 feet wide, ‘Gumpo White’ is perfect for small gardens, border fronts, and container plantings. Its dense, dark green foliage provides year-round structure and contrasts beautifully with the bright blooms.
