Aromi Azaleas – Bred for Alabama’s Climate

| Around 1970, Mobile native Dr. Eugene Aromi set out to produce superior blooming azalea hybrids that could stand up to Alabama’s heat and humidity. In pursuit of his goal, Dr. Aromi carried out over 1,000 crosses and evaluated over 50,000 plants—of which he selected just over 100 to be named. Presented by Advanced Master Gardener David Doggett, this program will review the history of hybridizing azaleas and share beautiful photos of Dr. Aromi’s life work.  Location: Adventure Classroom Become a Friend of the Gardens and join us in our mission to protect, nurture, and share the wonders of Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
