MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

The fragrant Eastern witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is in bloom in many locations on the grounds. Large specimens can be found at the south end of the Jenkins Daylily Garden and by the circular driveway south of the English Woodland Garden.
Fruits of hollies throughout the grounds are showy.
Winter may have arrived outdoors, but blooms are plentiful in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Yellow daisies (Argyranthemum frutescens ‘Maggie’), purple Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha) and rose colored cyclamen (Cyclamen ‘Concerto Rose Pink Louisa’) brighten the tiled Moorish Garden. Smell the heady fragrance of the Wintersweet tree (Chimonanthes praecox).
The Linnean House is bursting with color and fragrance. Many of the camellias are beginning to bloom, accompanied by richly colored poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima ‘Freedom Rose’ and ‘Winter Rose Pink’) and cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum ‘Concerto Cordelia). Look for the showy pink sweet pea blossoms (Lathyrus odoratus ‘Winter-flowering pink’), and enjoy the rich aroma of fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans).
