Are you taller than a sunflower? There are giants like these dotting the Vegetable and Cutting Gardens.
The orange coneflower (also known as Black-Eyed Susan) is showing her colors now around the Sundial. The flowers are especially attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.
Get your fill of dreamy blue hydrangeas hidden away in the white lattice court behind the Dutch Garden. Did you know you can help some hydrangeas maintain a natural blue shade by keeping the soil at a high acidic level?
Zinnias bring a burst of color to the beds surrounding the Sunken Garden. These flowers are easy to grow, and their singular blooms on long stems make them great for bouquets!
Hops help to keep beer fresh and are a key component of a beer's aroma and flavor. This climbing herbaceous perennial, like these in the Vegetable Garden, can be a charming addition to a home garden.
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!
Though considered a classic English garden plant, hollyhock originated in China. Spot these towering flower spikes in the Walled Garden.
Among the most unusual blooms in the Walled Garden are the 'Rainbow Loveliness' variety of Dianthus.
Don't miss the Dahlia bed in the Cutting Garden. The colorful flowers are native to Central and North America and were cultivated by the Aztecs.
The hybrid tea rose 'Elle' is a stunner in the Chartres Garden. Its mixed yellow and pink coloring is reminiscent of a sunset.
Squash are bursting out of their beds! There are several varieties of summer and winter squash making their home in the Vegetable Garden.
Look in the cages in the Cutting Garden to see pineapple lilies showing off. (These hardy plants are recommended for those with brown thumbs!)
A carpet of vibrant hues blooms in the Walled Garden, including the 'Megawatt' begonia. Did you know that begonias have separate male and female flowers that are borne on the same plant?
Several varieties of stonecrop bloom in the Perennial Border outside the Vegetable Garden.
Though fall is near, Filoli's Rose Garden is still blooming! The shrub rose variety 'Carefree Delight' is currently showing off clusters of pink-white beauty.
