What's Blooming

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

Visit the Gentleman's Orchard each weekend in October as part of our Orchard Days event! Though many fruits have already been harvested, you may still spot Keiffer pears, medlars, and the 'Esopus Spitzenburg' apple variety.
Keep your eye out for the many different pumpkin varieties growing in the Garden! 'Rouge Vif d'Etampes' is a French heirloom variety that's also known as the 'Cinderella' pumpkin.
Though fall is upon us, Filoli's rose garden is still blooming! The hybrid tea variety 'Spice Twice' is currently showing off pink-orange beauty.
Don't miss the popcorn cassia blooming near the Sundial! A member of the legume family, the plant's nutty smell reminds many of freshly buttered popcorn - and its yellow flowers look a bit like popcorn as well.
The 'Feathertop' ornamental grass variety brings soft texture to the Cutting Garden. Its large, soft flower plumes wave softly with each breeze.
These fluffy-looking orange and yellow marigolds can be found in the Cutting Garden cages. The 'Xochi Orange' variety is valued for its strong stem and rich color - perfect for the autumn season!
Despite its name, the cheerful oxeye sunflower near the sundial is not actually a sunflower. But the perennial has earned its place among its yellow-flowered rivals due to prolific blooms!
One of the unique fruits in the Gentleman's Orchard is quince. When ripe, its skin is a bright yellow color. Quince is inedible raw, but perfect for jams and preserves. Pairs well with fatty meat courses or cheese plates!
Bees buzz around the regal purple flowers of salvia 'Amistad' in the pollinator garden. The spikes of densely packed flowers bloom well into fall.
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!
The crunchy stalks of the 'Bright Lights' rainbow chard come in a vivid color spectrum of yellow, red, gold, pink, and white. It also has a sweeter and milder flavor than ordinary varieties.
Look along the Dining Room Terrace balustrades for the elegant, drooping fuchsia blossoms that inspired the name of the vivid pink-purple color. Did you know fuchsia plants also produce edible berries?
