MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

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.
As the blooms fade outside, the flowers come to life inside the Shoenberg Temperate House. Snapdragons, Cyclamen and Jasmine 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.
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.
