Azalea indica Dogwood White

Common Name:
Azalea ‘Dogwood White’

Description:
Azalea ‘Dogwood White’ is a graceful evergreen azalea admired for its masses of pure white blooms that create a fresh and elegant display from late winter through to spring. The large, open flowers are highlighted by soft yellow-green centres and stand out beautifully against the dense, glossy dark green foliage. Compact and neatly rounded in habit, this variety is ideal for borders, low hedging, decorative pots, and woodland-style gardens where bright contrast and year-round structure are desired. Well-suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate, ‘Dogwood White’ thrives in part shade but can also tolerate more sun in cooler conditions with adequate moisture. It performs best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil enriched with organic matter. This variety is highly valued for its clean floral display, evergreen foliage, and reliable flowering performance.
