What's Blooming

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

Wander through the gate to the Woodland Garden, where Japanese maples create a canopy of red and orange leaves.
The fan-shaped leaves of the gingko trees are slowing turning yellow, bringing gorgeous fall color to the Walled Garden.
The English holly shrubs in the Walled Garden are getting in the holiday spirit with their bright red berries!
Though fall is upon us, Filoli's rose garden is still blooming! The English shrub rose 'Graham Thomas' is currently showing off creamy yellow blooms.
Ipomoea lobata, also known as the "Exotic Love Vine," is a quick-growing annual climber that brings lively scarlet, orange, and yellow color to the sides of a Cutting Garden cage.
The first camellias of the season are popping up, including the pink and white camellia sasanqua 'Yae-Arare' variety in the Walled Garden.
The delicate white blooms of the climbing potato vine cover the wall between the Clock Tower Shop and the Sunken Garden.
Relax on a bench on the Dining Room Terrace and enjoy the view up at the fall color of the red oak tree.
Despite its name, Rose of Sharon is actually a hibiscus shrub- a perfect addition of color at the end of the season!
The 'Feathertop' ornamental grass variety brings soft texture to the Cutting Garden. Its large, soft flower plumes wave softly with each breeze.
