What's Blooming

Flower Stripes Sunflower
The Sunken Garden is a riot of color, with pink blooms showing off next to purple violets and yellow foxglove.
Rhododendron brings vibrancy to the shaded Woodland Garden. These flowers were a favorite of Lurline Roth, along with her beloved camellias.
Sometimes called the "rose of the spring," ranunculus blooms are bringing bright colors to the Cutting Garden cages. Their tissue-thin petals and wide range of colors make them favorites of florists.
Native to Japan, Korea, and China, the Chinese fringe tree near the Sunken Garden blooms with an abundance of slightly fragrant drooping fringe-like flowers. In the fall, the foliage turns a golden yellow color.
The foxgloves blooming in the Sunken Garden attract hummingbirds with their tubular flowers —but humans should stay clear, since the plant can be toxic.
One of the most popular trees in the United States, dogwoods thrive in the sun or shade - which makes them perfect for the Woodland Garden, in the shadow of the native oaks.
The perennial border runs along the bay laurel hedge and contains lavender, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain, and more!
Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Pretty potted pansies add a cheerful touch throughout the Garden.
The tree peonies now blooming in the Cutting Garden were donated to Filoli by renowned nursery-owner Toichi Domoto.
Although it's near the end of the wisteria season, the purple blooms over the Clock Tower Shop door are still showstoppers!
Explore the colorful blooms along the historic iris border at the edge of the Fruit Orchard. The name "iris" comes from the Greek word for rainbow.
In the Walled Garden, look out for the fascinating shapes of columbine flowers, with long spurs trailing behind them. They are a favorite of hummingbirds!
These tidy evergreen shrubs hide in the shadows of Filoli’s cherry trees most of the year, but in spring they command attention with a show of ruby red flowers.
Early bloomers in the Chartres and Rose Garden, like this Double Delight, are starting to unfurl. A hybrid tea rose, its mix of creamy white and red colors mean that no two flowers are alike.
Known as the "queen of climbers," the clematis vine brings white blooms to the front of the House.
Catch the bright orange blooms of our state flower, the California poppy, near the pool.
