What's Blooming

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

The tree peonies now blooming in the Cutting Garden were donated to Filoli by renowned nursery-owner Toichi Domoto.
Early bloomers in the Rose Garden, like this Double Delight, are starting to unfurl. A hybrid tea rose, its mix of creamy white and red colors mean that no two flowers are alike.
Sometimes called the "rose of the spring," ranunculus blooms are bringing bright colors to the Cutting Garden cages. Their tissue-thin petals and wide range of colors make them favorites of florists.
One of the most popular trees in the United States, dogwoods thrive in the sun or shade - which makes them perfect for the Woodland Garden, in the shadow of the native oaks.
The Sally Holmes climbing rose, which blooms continually throughout the summer, makes this arbor in the Rose Garden a favorite photo spot.
Rhododendron brings vibrancy to the shaded Woodland Garden. These flowers were a favorite of Lurline Roth, along with her beloved camellias.
Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
The foxgloves blooming in the Sunken Garden attract hummingbirds with their tubular flowers —but humans should stay clear, since the plant can be toxic.
White pansies add a cheerful touch to the shaded Wedding Place.
The perennial border runs along the bay laurel hedge, and contains lavender, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain and more!
Explore the colorful blooms along the historic iris border at the edge of the Fruit Orchard. The name "iris" comes from the Greek word for rainbow.
Native to Japan, Korea, and China, the Chinese fringe tree near the Sunken Garden blooms with an abundance of slightly fragrant drooping fringe-like flowers. In the fall, the foliage turns a golden yellow color.
