MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Spring has arrived, with Magnolias, early Tulips and Daffodils blooming in many locations on the grounds. If the weather remains mild, Flowering cherries will be in bloom in the Japanese Garden before the weeks end.
Pansies are blooming in many locations on the grounds.
The large Arnold Promise hybrid witchhazels (Hamamelis x intermedia 'Arnold Promise') in the English Woodland Garden and Seiwa-En, the Japanese Garden are still showy. Hellebores are also showy in the English Woodland Garden.
Korean and 'PJM' rhododendrons are blooming in the Lopata Azalea and Rhododendron Garden.
Enjoy the peak of bloom in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Masses of flowering Cyclamen and purple and white African daisies (Osteospermum sp.) accompany the showy California lilac (Ceanothus 'Ray Hartmann') and fragrant yellow Broom (Chamaecytisus glaber). Fairy primroses and Cineraria decorate the tiled Moorish fountain. Look on the rock wall beneath the grape arbor for the dramatic yellow spikes of Verbascum arcturus from Crete.
The Camellias are past their peak of bloom in the Linnean House, but are still quite lovely. Cyclamen and Primrose decorate the beds below the Camellias, accompanied by the sweet scent of Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum).
Clerodendrums and Begonias are just some of the many plants of interest in the Climatron® Geodesic Greenhouse this week.
Fragrant Winter honeysuckles are blooming in the English Woodland, Zimmerman Scented and Kemper Fragrance Gardens.
