What's Blooming

Each season we scout the Garden for amazing blooms and features our favorites here.

Despite its name, Rose of Sharon is actually a hibiscus shrub that blooms in late summer - a perfect addition of color at the end of the season!
The hybrid tea rose 'Elle' is a stunner in the Chartres Cathedral Garden currently. Its mixed yellow and pink coloring is reminescent of a sunset.
Cheerful and easy-going Black Eyed Susan flowers feature golden-yellow petals around brown “button” centers. Since its introduction in 1937, the ‘Goldsturm’ variety has been one of the most popular garden perennials in cultivation due to its compact size and large flowers.
Don't miss the dahlia patch in the Cutting Garden. The colorful flowers are native to Central and North America and were cultivated by the Aztecs.
The love-it or hate-it scent of marigolds divides gardeners across the globe, but the flower’s usefulness in deterring pests and rabbits and its importance in numerous cultural traditions makes it an international favorite.
Can you spot angelonia, aka summer snapdragon, in the Sundial Garden beds? No need to deadhead these flowers - they produce blooms all summer long, unlike true snapdragons that wilt in heat.
Squash are bursting out of the numbered beds in the Walled Garden! This 'Jarrahdale' variety was developed in Australia and is popular for its striking blue-gray color, sweet flavor, and string-less flesh.
Sometimes called Mexican hydrangea, the cashmere bouquet plant is a fragrant summer bloomer with large flower heads that attract butterflies.
Cotton candy pink Amaryllis belladonna is native to South Africa but has naturalized in coastal California. It is known as the "surprise lily” because it pops up seemingly out of nowhere.
'Cheyenne Spirit' coneflowers create a carpet of vibrant hues beneath the roses in the Chartres Cathedral Garden. Native to the prairies in the eastern half of the U.S., coneflowers are perfect to bring late-summer color to your garden.
Each year, a rare snail vine blooms on the Cutting Garden cage wall. Named for the unique shape of its flowers, the vine grows in areas that experience frost and has a similar fragrance to hyacinths.
Our Fruitful Garden display brings edible plants to the formal Garden for the first time! Look for artichokes in the Sunken Garden - they thrive in climates like Filoli's, with mild winters and foggy summers.
The sundial is surrounded by bright orange sulphur cosmos flowers. They attract the monarch butterfly, which may feed on them on their annual migration journey across the Americas.
Get your fill of hydrangeas near the Woodland Garden gate. Did you know some hydrangea flowers can change color based on how acidic its soil is?

Planting an Edible Garden

Join Horticulturist Andrew Bellouin, who cares for the Sunken Garden at Filoli, on a tour of the Fruitful Garden's edible plant display. This summer, Filoli’s Fruitful Garden exhibit highlights the gifts of edible, medicinal, and pollinator plants with a vibrant display of fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Asian Art Tour

Enjoy a tour of Filoli's Asian art collection with Interpretation Manager Willa Brock. Just as it was during the time of the families, the home is predominantly filled with 17th and 18th century English and Irish furniture and art. However, the collection does span more than six centuries and over a dozen countries, including many Chinese pieces.

The gardens were beautifully illuminated with holiday lights making the evening seem magical in the winter evening. We sat outside by a warm fire and enjoyed warm mulled wine. The interior buildings were beautifully decorated with holiday wreaths and Christmas trees. My wife called family and friends to recommend they visit these gardens.

I try to go to Filoli Gardens each spring when the flowers are cheering spring onward. The house and garden tour is the best way for beginners to get acquainted with the wonderful story of this beautiful park. But Christmas tours are also a joy with the house dressed up for the holidays. Lunch or tea is another joy. And do stop at the gift shop. ENJOY!

Super beautiful and relaxing flower heaven! Truly worth a visit if you love flowers and gardens. There’s a cafe for good and snacks. The mansion is also very impressive, decorated with paintings and piano.
