In general, during mid to late summer the Gardens are bursting with blooms.

• Container plantings are at their peak and many of the gardens are in full bloom.
• Look for colorful daylilies and coneflowers.
• The perennial garden includes blooming monarda, which attracts butterflies and other insects.
• In the later summer look for hibiscus with large, five-petaled flowers.
• Water lilies gracefully float in many ponds and streams around the gardens.
• Take a break from the heat and visit the shade gardens to see many varieties of hostas.
