What's Blooming

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

Zinnias and snapdragons are turning the Cutting Garden into a rainbow of colored blossoms. Snapdragons are named for the shape of their flowers, which look like the snout of a dragon and snap closed after pollinators delve inside for pollen.
Look for pink blosooms high up on the rhododendrons in the Woodland Garden. There are about 1000 different species of rhododendron.
The Sundial beds are bursting with yellow sunflowers! This new 'Sunfinity' variety offers nonstop blooming, multiple branches, and more flowers well into fall.
The 'Marilyn Monroe' hybrid tea rose, named for the famed actress, has a creamy apricot color and elegant shape. It's heat tolerant, since "some like it hot"!
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.
In the Walled Garden, cottage garden beds burst with a dense, colorful mix of plants that attract pollinators. This style of planting originated in England in the 1400s.
The perennial border runs along the bay laurel hedge, and contains lavender, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain and more!
Our current exhibit, A Fruitful Garden, highlights the edible and medicinal plants featured in our summer display.
The Sally Holmes climbing rose, which blooms continually throughout the summer, makes this arbor in the Rose Garden a favorite photo spot.
Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Cheerful orange and yellow nasturtiums line the path at the back of the House. The plant’s flowers and circular leaves are edible -- and easy to grow in your own garden!
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.
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 clematis vine on the balustrade between the Dining Room Terrace and the Sunken Garden is showing off with deep purple blooms.
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?

Asia 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.
