Displaying Good Breeding:
It isn't polite to brag about your background unless you're a plant cultivar. Being a cultivated variety means someone bred or selected you for a special feature like size of flower color. Your name in single quotes signified your uniqueness.
The US National Arboretum proudly displays and preserves some of the finest winter-hardy azalea cultivars for the mid-Atlantic region.
Look for this symbol along the Henry Mitchell Azalea Cultivar Walk to discover which azalea cultivar groups we've chosen to collect and why. |
