What's Blooming

Filoli StrokeLine
Some Vegetable Garden beds are planted with Borage as a winter crop. The star-shaped blue flowers are edible and also attract polinators.
Walk the California and Spring Creek Trails, and take in the lush green mosses and colorful fungi.
Fragrant Paperwhites are among the first bulbs to bloom in the Garden during the early winter months.
The Dutch Garden is filled with purple, white, and green Hellebores, also called Christmas Rose - they grow well in shady areas and bloom around the winter holidays.
This beautiful red and white marbled Camellia japonica 'Gigantea' is a dependably early and prolific bloomer next to the Garden House.
The richly colored flowers of the 'Matsubara Red' Flowering Apricot next to the stairs to the High Place attract bees and other pollinators during the cold months of winter.
Despite their name, the Tasmanian Tree Ferns in the Woodland Garden are not technically trees. They don’t have any true wood in their trunks, but take on a tree-like form as their lacy leaves sprout from the top.
Look out for the pink-edged blooms of the 'Margaret Davis' Japanese Camellia in the Courtyard at the front of the House.
Winter means ripening citrus including this venerable potted Yuzu on the Dining Room Terrace.
Purple and blue 'Jersey Gem' Violas are adding color to the Chartres beds in the Walled Garden.
