MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Autumn foliage is past peak, but still nice. The many stately, old Ginkgo trees on the grounds are coloring well, but the Amelanchiers along the pathway to the Lehmann Rose Garden have seldom displayed better color.
Eastern witchhazels are blooming in several locations on the grounds. Large specimens can be found in the Jenkins Daylily Garden, on the berm just west of the Shoenberg Administration Building, and in both the English Woodland and Japanese Gardens.
Many Roses in both the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are still in bloom.
Many different varieties of Pansies are being tested for winter hardiness in the Lois Whiteside Franklin Flower Trial Garden at the Kemper Center for Home Gardening.
As the blooms fade outside, the flowers come to life inside the Shoenberg Temperate House. Snapdragons, Begonias, Cyclamen and Pansies decorate the walled Moorish Garden.
While most Camellias have no fragrance, be sure to smell the sweet scent of the autumn-blooming Camellias (Camellia sasanqua) in the Linnean House.
Fruits of many plants on the grounds are showy at this time. Especially noteworthy are Crabapples, Hawthorns, and American hollies.
Mist-flowers in the English Woodland Garden are showy.
Many late-flowering annuals in the Kresko Victorian Garden are still showy.
