What to Know About the Plant
The Taylor Maid Native Azalea is a deciduous shrub that boasts lush, green foliage in the warmer months, turning a rich bronze hue in the fall before dropping its leaves. This compact shrub typically grows to a height of 4-6 feet, with a rounded form that adds structure and texture to your garden. Its graceful branches are adorned with clusters of blooms, creating a picturesque display throughout the blooming season.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Integrate the Taylor Maid Native Azalea into your fruitscape to infuse a touch of Southern charm into your landscape design. Pair this ornamental shrub with fruit trees like Peach or Plum for a stunning contrast of colors and textures. Add in berry plants such as Blueberries or Raspberries to create a dynamic mix of edibles and ornamentals that will delight both the eye and the palate. Tropical plants like Bananas or Pineapples can enhance the exotic appeal of the Azalea, while herbs like Mint or Basil provide a fragrant and flavorful addition to your garden. Together, these plants create a harmonious blend of beauty and functionality, transforming your outdoor space into a vibrant and thriving oasis.
Landscaping with Azalea Bushes
Azaleas are a southern classic for good reason. They grow incredibly well and look great year round. In the spring you are greeted with an explosion of color and fragrance. The healthy plants seem to have as many buds and blooms as they do leaves. All year round the evergreen leaves will add a lush vibe to your yard. Because Chinese azaleas are evergreen, they make wonderful borders, hedges and even privacy screens. The uses for azaleas in the landscape are endless and add a touch of southern charm to any home.
Recommended Fertilizers
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Azalea Bushes will thrive with a more acidic fertilizer. We recommend Espoma Organic Holly-tone Fertilizer for all of our Azalea varieties.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
