What's Blooming in August

Filoli StrokeLine
Roses in the Chartres and Rose Gardens, like this 'Double Delight' variety, are continuing to bloom. A hybrid tea rose, it features a mix of creamy white and red colors that means no two flowers are alike.
A carpet of vibrant hued Wax Begonias bloom in the Walled Garden. Did you know that Begonias have separate male and female flowers that are borne on the same plant?
Look out for the purple blooms of Statice in the Cutting Garden. It's a favorite for dried flower arrangements due to its lasting color.
The Dahlia Garden next to the Knot Garden includes many colorful varieties, including 'Show 'n' Tell'.
Water Lilies are blooming in ponds throughout the Garden, including in the Sunken Garden. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Marigolds are making their presence known in the Cutting Garden. Later this fall, they will be an important flower during Día de los Muertos. Next to them is the towering 'Red Spike' Amaranth which produces a gluten-free grain that can be toasted and popped, ground into flour, or eaten whole.
Sunflowers, like this 'Strawberry Blond' variety, add their cheerful blooms to the Cutting Garden.
Stone fruit trees, including Peach, Nectarine, and Plum, are in full fruit in the Garden Orchard.
Commonly known as Chilean Bellflower, Lapageria rosea blooms year round and is the national flower of Chile. Spot it by the staff gate on your left across from the Garden House before you enter the Walled Garden.
Summer-blooming Hydrangeas can be found throughout the garden. This one is tucked away next to the entrance to the High Place.
Look in the west cage of the Cutting Garden to see Pineapple Lilies showing off. (These tough plants are recommended for those with brown thumbs!)
Zinnias bring a burst of color to the Cutting Garden. These flowers are easy to grow, and their blooms on long stems make them great for bouquets!
Fragrant white Chilean Jasmine climbs up the Garden House. Don't be confused by its name though -- the plant is actually native to Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru and belongs to the Milkweed, not Jasmine, Family.
The Orange Coneflowers (Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm') around the Sundial are especially attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.
Cotton candy pink Amaryllis belladonna is native to South Africa but has naturalized in coastal California. It is known as the "surprise lily” because its flowers pop up in late summer when the plant has no leaves.
Bells of Ireland, which signify good luck, can be found in the Cutting Garden. Despite the name, this green-flowered annual is native to Turkey, Syria and the Caucasus.
After the Pincushion Flower blooms, its unique seedheads grow in the Cutting Garden. It dries beautifully and is often used in Autumn floral displays.
