A name that points to azaleas
The Glenn Dale azaleas came from a breeding program that Benjamin Morrison ran from the Plant Introduction Station at Glenn Dale. USDA's research service says the 25-year program produced 454 new azalea cultivars, and a profile of Morrison in the American Rhododendron Society's journal describes the Glenn Dale hybrids as bred for large flowers and cold hardiness in the Middle Atlantic states.
