What's Blooming

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?
Take in the famous fragrance of Mock Orange shrubs blooming between the new Dahlia Garden and Yew Allee.
New this year are the Dahlias next to the Knot Garden! Check out the young blooms and the geometric pattern they create.
In the Walled Garden, cottage-style garden beds burst with a dense, colorful mix of flowers like Columbine and Pinks that attract pollinators.
Just in time for the holiday, the 'Fourth of July' Rose features fireworks-like stripes radiating from its center and loves full sun.
The magnificent Southern Magnolia on the front lawn was planted in 1948 by Lurline Roth. The evergreen tree is native to the southern U.S. and flowers in the summer.
Though considered a classic English garden plant, Hollyhocks originated in China. Spot these towering flower spikes in the Walled Garden.
You'll find many different colors of Salvia (aka Sage) throughout the Garden, including the cultivar 'Amistad' in the Walled Garden. Part of the mint family, their tubular flowers attract pollinators and their leaves have a strong fragrance.
On the north side of the House, you are greeted with clusters of yellow-flowered Yarrow around the terrace - a good choice for a drought-resistent border.
Water Lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
Pink Rhododendrons are almost finished for the season in the shaded Woodland Garden. The name comes from the Greek rhodo for "rose" and dendron for "tree."
Spot these graceful Oakleaf Hydrangeas in the Olive Grove. Named for its lobed, oak-like leaves, the plant features cone-shaped flower clusters that will fade from white to pink.
Can you track down the 'McCartney' Rose? The variety and its name was a birthday gift to Sir Paul McCartney from his record company!
The magnificent Southern Magnolia on the front lawn was planted in 1948 by Lurline Roth. The evergreen tree is native to the southern U.S. and flowers in the summer.
The Perennial Border outside the Vegetable Garden delights the eye with layers of pink and purple blooms like Speedwell, Verbena, and other flowers.
Knee high by the Fourth of July? Filoli's Corn in the Vegetable Garden is way ahead of that! Look out for Pumpkins hiding in the Corn's shade.
This native California species of Clarkia is commonly called Farewell-to-Spring because it is one of the last spring wildflowers to bloom.
Look for Rock Purslane in the Sunken Garden. This drought-tolerant perennial from Chile has tall stems topped with purple, poppy-like blooms above succulent foliage.
Fuzzy, tube-shaped orange flowers give the Lion's Ear (or Lion's Tail!) plant its name. Native to South Africa, it can be a striking feature in a water-wise garden.
