Rhododendron indica 'George L. Taber'
 
One of the best of the sun and heat-tolerant evergreen Southern Indica Azaleas, 'George L. Taber' displays LOADS of large, 3 to 4 inch showy funnel-shaped flowers with variegated light orchid and white petals with fuchsia-purple centers that nearly cover the foliage on large, mounding evergreen shrubs 6 to 8 feet tall and wide. A fine selection for a natural hedge or a sunny to partially shaded woodland border. Grows more rapidly than other types of azaleas.
