Azalea ‘Mrs. G.G. Gerbing’: Identification and Fertilizing Tips

White Spring Blooms on a Classic Southern Shrub

The green bushes blooming with fragrant, lily-like white flowers for one week each spring are Azaleas, likely the cultivar ‘Mrs. G.G. Gerbing’.

Fertilize with an azalea-specific formula containing iron and minor nutrients.
Do not fertilize while blooming—white flowers may develop a greenish tinge.
Apply after flowering ends, following package rates.

Proper nutrition enhances vigor and future flower production.
