MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

The Linnean House is bursting with color and fragrance. The camellias are nearing their peak of bloom, and are accompanied by dainty Fairy primroses (Primula malacoides ‘Prima series’) and Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum ‘Concerto Cordelia). Enjoy the rich aroma of Fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans).
Spring is in full bloom in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Brightly colored tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and German primrose (Primula obconica ‘Libre series’) illuminate the tiled Moorish Garden.
Witchhazels flower on warm sunny days. Specimens of Ozark (Hamamelis vernalis), Chinese (Hamamelis mollis), and Hybrid (Hamamelis x intermedia) species and cultivars can be found in the English Woodland, Jenkins Daylily and Japanese gardens.
A few early clumps of Giant snowdrops (Galanthus elwesii) can be found blooming in the Mausoleum, English Woodland, Hosta Walk, and Kemper Bird gardens on warm winter days.
Pansies may look a bit worn for the remainder of winter, but their well-established root systems will push out vigorous new growth and flowers as soon as conditions allow.
