2. Azalea Azaleas are popular shrubs for filling flower beds or containers with a bounty of color in spring. They are best planted in fall or early spring during their dormant period.
But, for flowering shrubs like azaleas, the best companion plants are those that thrive under the same conditions while also adding to the beauty and color of the garden.
Shrubs range in size from dwarfs only reaching 1 foot tall to larger specimens that grow to 10 to 12 feet tall. Shrubs also are easily pruned and trained to the shape and form you wish.
As flashy as exotic azaleas may be, the less familiar native azaleas can also be showstoppers in your yard. Mature plants may sport hundreds to thousands of blooms that open at the same time.
I shear some of my azaleas that are planted close to borders, but leave others to grow tall as background plants. Either way, you’ll have attractive, sturdy shrubs.
If ever there was a plant that has shown itself to be a reliable performer in Louisiana landscapes, it’s the Southern Indica azalea — one of the AgCenter’s 2025 Super Plant picks.
