Among the multitude of dendrological species with high decorative value, Albizia genus is of particular importance in the landscape design especially in the conditions of our country which are generally favorable and very favorable for the growth of these species. The purpose of the present work is to highlight the ornamental potential of the best known species of Albizia genus. Albizia julibrissin Durazz. seeds were used for the experiment. Propagation of this species can be done quite easily by seeds, provided that the pods are harvested in October and the sowing is done in the spring (Sandu, 2009). Observations were made regarding the evolution in different periods of the vegetation, aiming the development regarding the germinability, growth and development of seedlings under the action of some rooting regulators, namely Radi-Stim Nr. 2, Asfac-4 25 ppm and Asfac-4 20 ppm. The variants treated with these regulators had a particular importance on seed germination, in terms of a deeper rooting, resulting in much more vigorous plants.
