What's Blooming

Filoli StrokeLine
Roses in the Chartres and Rose Gardens, like this 'Double Delight' variety, are continuing to bloom. A hybrid tea rose, it features a mix of creamy white and red colors that means no two flowers are alike.
A carpet of vibrant hues blooms in the Walled Garden, including the 'Megawatt Rose Bronze Leaf' Begonia. Did you know that Begonias have separate male and female flowers that are borne on the same plant?
Look for the blooming Artichokes in the Vegetable Garden - they thrive in climates like coastal central California's, with mild winters and foggy summers.
New this summer are the Dahlias next to the Knot Gardens! Check out the blooms and the geometric patterns they create.
Water Lilies are blooming in ponds throughout the Garden. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Marigolds are making their presence known in the Cutting Garden. Later this fall, they will be an important flower during Día de los Muertos. Their strong scent is said to lead souls back home from their burial places.
The towering maroon plumes of Mexican Grain Amaranth can be found in the Vegetable Garden. The grain is gluten-free and can be toasted and popped, ground into flour, or eaten whole.
Carnations can still be found in the Cutting Garden cages, where they were traditionally planted by the Roth family.
Commonly known as Chilean Bellflower, Lapageria rosea blooms year round and is the national flower of Chile. Spot it by the staff gate on your left across from the Garden House before you enter the Walled Garden.
Each year, the rare Snail Vine blooms on the east Cutting Garden cage wall. Named for the unique shape of its flowers, the vine has blooms with a similar fragrance as hyacinths.
Look in the west cage of the Cutting Garden to see Pineapple Lilies showing off. (These hardy plants are recommended for those with brown thumbs!)
Zinnias bring a burst of color to the Cutting Garden. These flowers are easy to grow, and their blooms on long stems make them great for bouquets!
Fragrant white Chilean Jasmine climbs up the Garden House. Don't be confused by its name though -- the plant is actually native to Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru and belongs to the Dogbane, not Jasmine, Family.
The Orange Coneflowers (Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm') around the Sundial are especially attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.
Cotton candy pink Amaryllis belladonna is native to South Africa but has naturalized in coastal California. It is known as the "surprise lily” because its flowers pops up seemingly out of nowhere.
This 'Triple Berry Mix' variety of Scabiosa is showing its colors in the Cutting Garden cages. It is also known as Pincushion Flower.
