What's Blooming

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

Visit the Gentleman's Orchard each weekend in October as part of our Orchard Days event! Though many fruits have already been harvested, you may still spot Keiffer pears, medlars, and the 'Esopus Spitzenburg' apple variety.
Keep your eye out for the many different pumpkin varieties growing in the Garden! 'Rouge Vif d'Etampes' is a French heirloom variety that's also known as the 'Cinderella' pumpkin.
Though fall is upon us, Filoli's rose garden is still blooming! The hybrid tea variety 'Spice Twice' is currently showing off pink-orange beauty.
Don't miss the popcorn cassia blooming near the Sundial! A member of the legume family, the plant's nutty smell reminds many of freshly buttered popcorn - and its yellow flowers look a bit like popcorn as well.
The 'Feathertop' ornamental grass variety brings soft texture to the Cutting Garden. Its large, soft flower plumes wave softly with each breeze.
These fluffy-looking orange and yellow marigolds can be found in the Cutting Garden cages. The 'Xochi Orange' variety is valued for its strong stem and rich color - perfect for the autumn season!
Despite its name, the cheerful oxeye sunflower near the sundial is not actually a sunflower. But the perennial has earned its place among its yellow-flowered rivals due to prolific blooms!
One of the unique fruits in the Gentleman's Orchard is quince. When ripe, its skin is a bright yellow color. Quince is inedible raw, but perfect for jams and preserves. Pairs well with fatty meat courses or cheese plates!
Bees buzz around the regal purple flowers of salvia 'Amistad' in the pollinator garden. The spikes of densely packed flowers bloom well into fall.
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 crunchy stalks of the 'Bright Lights' rainbow chard come in a vivid color spectrum of yellow, red, gold, pink, and white. It also has a sweeter and milder flavor than ordinary varieties.
Look along the Dining Room Terrace balustrades for the elegant, drooping fuchsia blossoms that inspired the name of the vivid pink-purple color. Did you know fuchsia plants also produce edible berries?

Filoli’s Medicinal Garden

Temperatures are cooling and autumn is taking hold of the landscape. It’s time for us to bid a fond farewell to the Fruitful Garden exhibit! This horticultural display highlighted the…

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.
