Desiring to add a little graceful charm to your yard with minimal fuss? Gumpo White Azalea, a low-maintenance, dwarf azalea is an ideal option. Dense clusters of pearl-white blooms, seemingly crafted from fine organza, cover Gumpo White Azalea in spring and reappear from time to time throughout the summer. Complemented by lustrous, evergreen foliage, this perennial shrub provides color year-round. Otherwise known as Rhododendron 'Gumpo White', White Gumpo, and Satsuki Azalea, this compact shrub reaches a maximum height of 18-24 inches and width of 2-3 feet. It also produces cut-flower-quality blooms that won’t just appeal to you, your family, and friends, but will also be the talk of the town amongst your neighborhood pollinators. The birds, bees, and butterflies will love Gumpo White Azalea as much as you do.
Gumpo White Azalea is a slow-growing, upright perennial. Attractive to deer but not bunnies, this compact shrub is relatively disease resistant and once established, drought tolerant. A low-maintenance Satsuki hybrid originating from Japan, this salt-tolerant plant is perfect for anyone new to gardening who doesn’t have a lot of free time to spare.
Gumpo White Azalea Care
To encourage the production of gorgeous alabaster blooms, start this shrub off right by choosing a spot that has access to full sun to partial shade and plant it in a hole that is equivalent in depth to the height of the plant’s root ball and about twice the width. If possible, choose a spot away from any cement foundations, patios, or walkways; cement can increase the soil’s pH. Like most azaleas, Gumpo White Azalea relishes highly acidic soil. A good pH to aim for is somewhere between 5.0 and 6.5. Ensure that this ornamental plant’s soil is also loamy, moist, and well-draining. To improve drainage and increase acidity, amend the soil with sphagnum peat moss.
While Gumpo White Azalea prefers moist soil, it does not enjoy swampy conditions, so make sure that the soil is not too wet. Conducting a moisture check with a finger or probe prior to watering is wise. Possessing moderate watering needs, you will normally need to water this perennial only one time per week. Not fussy, Gumpo White Azalea requires fertilizing one time per year. After it starts to flower, feed this dwarf azalea a typical balanced fertilizer.
Requiring minimal work, Gumpo White Azalea does not need frequent pruning. In fact, unless desiring a more precise form, simply remove dead and/or damaged stems during the end of summer/early fall.
Gumpo White Azalea Spacing
Gumpo White Azalea is especially beautiful when planted en masse. If grown as part of a hedge, space these compact plants about 2 feet apart. If planting only a few, however, you can space them a little farther with intervals of 3-5 feet.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
