What's Blooming

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

The 'Phyllis Bide' climbing rose frames the door to the Sunken Garden with blooms.
The eye-catching purple-pink Gladiolus communis flowers are hard to miss in the Cutting Garden. The plant is also known as the Sword Lily due to its long, sharp leaves.
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.
