Neutral	Joan	On Sep 7, 2009, Joan from Belfield, ND (Zone 4a) wrote: Editor's Note Some resources list all parts of Rododendrons and Azaleas as poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Andromedotoxin, and symptoms include salivation, watering of eyes and nose, abdominal pain, loss of energy, depression, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, difficult breathing, progressive paralysis of arms and legs, coma. We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.
Positive	FlowerManiac	On Sep 7, 2009, FlowerManiac from Coppell, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: This time honored variety is the standard for white Satsuki azaleas. Bred from a 'sport' of the George L. Taber azalea (which is pink). Vigorous grower and profuse bloomer if given the proper conditions.
