MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Redbuds (Cercis canadensis, C. chinensis) and daffodils are at peak bloom throughout the grounds. Tulips and pansy displays are becoming showier by the day.
Flowering cherries are just past peak bloom in the Japanese Garden, but still very showy. Many magnolias are still flowering.
Crabapples throughout the Garden are becoming showy. Dogwoods and azaleas are beginning to bloom.
Wildflowers are blooming in the English Woodland Garden.
The rich and vibrant colors of spring are in full bloom in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Brilliant magenta African daisies (Osteospermum hybrid ‘Wildside') cascade over the rocks along the stairs. Rich blue and white cineraria daisies (Pericallis hybrida ‘Jester Blue’) decorate the tiled Moorish Garden.
The heady aroma of jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum) fills the Linnean House. Dainty fairy primroses (Primula malacoides ‘Prima series’) and cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum ‘Concerto Cordelia') decorate the beds beneath the camellias.
NOTE: Frost is in the forecast as this report goes to print. Damage to flowering plants will be minimal at temperatures down to 28 degrees F, but could be significant at lower readings. As always, frost damage will be variable depending on species, plant location, and the length of time temperatures hold at minimum.
