MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

The peak season of spring color has arrived with Flowering cherries in full bloom in the Japanese Garden. Crabapples, Redbuds and Serviceberries are in full bloom throughout the Grounds, and Dogwoods are beginning to become showy.
There's a great display of Daffodils, Tulips, and other spring bulbs throughout the grounds this week, but the bulb borders are especially showy.
The displays of Pansies combined with Tulips in the Milles Sculpture Garden are outstanding.
Many Azaleas are now blooming in the Lopata Azalea and Rhododendron Garden.
Enjoy the peak of bloom in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Masses of purple and white African daisies (Osteospermum sp.) accompany the showy Waxflower tree (Chamelaucium ciliatum) and fragrant yellow Broom (Chamaecytisus glaber). Fairy primroses, Pansies 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.
Enjoy the intense fragrance of Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum) in the Linnean House. The brilliant yellow flowers of the Canary Island broom standards impart a pleasant scent. The Camellias are nearly finished, but a few beautiful blossoms remain. Fairy primrose (Primula malacoides) and Cyclamen fill the house with vibrant color.
Large drifts of Daffodils can be found among the many perennials and wildflowers flowering in the English Woodland Garden.
