What's Blooming

Dahlias are popping up in the Cutting Garden! The colorful flowers are native to Central and North America and were cultivated by the Aztecs.
The Rose Garden is in full bloom! Wander through and pick your favorite scent - or favorite flower name. Can you spot the Betty White rose, or the Fourth of July rose?
'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.
The Sunken Garden is transformed with a low-water mix of succulents! Look out for beautiful potted blue agave and spiky cacti.
Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Look inside the Garden House 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?
You'll find many different colors of salvia (aka sage) throughout the Garden. Part of the mint family, their tubular flowers attract pollinators and their leaves have a signature strong aroma.
The perennial border runs along the laurel cherry hedge and contains lavender, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain, and more!
The yellow “Full Moon Rising” rose that climbs along the side of the Panel Garden cage is a mutation of the pink “Polka” variety. It was chosen for Filoli due to its disease resistance and fragrance.
Look for hydrangeas near the Woodland Garden gate. Did you know some hydrangea flowers can change color based on the amount of aluminum in the soil?
Catch bees buzzing in the English lavender in the Panel Garden, which dates back to the Bourn era. The Knot Garden features the deep blue ‘Hidcote’ lavender.
The Sally Holmes climbing rose, which blooms continually throughout the summer, makes this arbor in the Rose Garden a favorite photo spot. Photo by Che Abram, @Sympleeche on Instagram
Though considered a classic English garden plant, hollyhock originated in China! Spot these towering flower spikes in the Walled Garden.
Look for pink blossoms high up on the rhododendrons in the Woodland Garden. There are about 1000 different species of rhododendron in the world!
