MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Some fine autumn color remains on the Fragrant sumac by the Mausoleum Garden. The 'Henry's Garnet' Sweetspire in the Kemper Flower Borders is brilliant shades of purple and reds. Maple foliage in the Japanese Garden is coloring nicely.
Seed heads of ornamental grasses are showy throughout the grounds.
Holly berries are showy throughout the Garden grounds. Fruits of the Tea viburnums in the Daylilly and Chinese Gardens are also very showy. Look for the large fruits of the Asian persimmons looming over the south wall in the Chinese Garden.
The sweet aroma of the Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus fragrans) fills the Linnean House. The earliest Camellias are starting to bloom, a hint of the show to come this winter.
The walled Moorish garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House features the bright red leaves of Coleus (Solenostemon 'Oxblood) and the unusual furry blossoms of Lion's ear from South Africa (Leonotis leonurus).
