One of the family of Exbury Hybrids, this variety features
dense clusters of snow white blooms, each with an
amazing yellow blotch, blooming in mid to late spring; a
compact rounded shrub; needs highly acidic and organic
soil that is well drained
Ornamental Features:
Exbury White Azalea is covered in stunning clusters of lightly-scented white trumpet-shaped flowers with
a yellow blotch at the ends of the branches from mid to late spring, which emerge from distinctive buttery
yellow flower buds before the leaves. It has green foliage throughout the season. The narrow leaves do
not develop any appreciable fall color. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. The smooth gray bark is
not particularly outstanding.
Landscape Attributes:
Exbury White Azalea is an open multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright spreading habit of
growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer
foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing
any of the current season's flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Exbury White Azalea is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- General Garden Use
- Mass Planting
- Accent
Plant Characteristics:
Exbury White Azalea will grow to be about 6 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 feet. It tends to be a
little leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power
lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal
growth, but will die in standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic
soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils. It is
somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location.
Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder
zones.
This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
