Oldest collection of Indica Azaleas in America...
First garden to plant azaleas outdoors - 1840's....
When the Indian Azaleas are in bloom, they are - without a doubt - the greatest attraction at Magnolia.
Magnolia was the first garden in America to plant azaleas outside. In the spring, hundreds of thousands of blooming azaleas grace the paths and lake basins. Their reflections in the lake's dark waters are utterly stunning. Hundreds of varieties of Indica, Kurume, Satsuki, Glen Dales, native azaleas and other hybrids are in Magnolia's collection. New varieties are added annually.
Working with The Great Gardens of America Preservation Alliance in 2010, Magnolia identified 15 varieties of Indian Azaleas previously thought to be extinct. They are being propagated to share with other preservation-minded gardens across the nation. One of Magnolia's primary objectives is to locate and preserve these older azalea varieties for future generations to enjoy.
