What's Blooming in October

Filoli StrokeLine
The beautiful 'Fama Deep Blue' variety of Perennial Scabiosa adds rich color to the Cutting Garden cages.
Luffa gourds, which are growing in the Vegetable Garden, can be eaten, made into skincare products, or dried into sponges.
The 100-year-old dwarf Pomegranate shrubs are providing their seasonal fall color along the back of the House!
Towering spikes of pink Hollyhock are found among other bee-attracting plants in the buzzing Pollinator Beds in the Walled Garden.
Amaranth, like this delightful 'Hot Biscuit' variety, can be found in the Cutting Garden. The grain is gluten-free and can be toasted and popped, ground into flour, or eaten whole.
This Cuphea ignea in the Walled Garden is known as Firecracker Plant due to its red tubular blooms. It can provide reliable color and nectar for hummingbirds from summer through fall.
The Cutting Garden is still bursting with blooms, like the dramatic Eryngium 'Blue Glitter', also known as Sea Holly.
Many of the summer crops in the Vegetable Garden have already been harvested, but Tomatoes in all shades are still hanging heavy on their vines.
Sunflowers, like this 'ProCut Red' variety, are still dotting the gardens and pleasing the bees.
Look for the upswept violet and white blooms of Ivy-Leaved Cyclamen throughout the shady Woodland and Walled Gardens. Some say the flowers look like butterflies in flight!
In search of some shade? Wander under the Hawthorn trees in the Walled Garden and admire the glowing red Begonia blooms.
The Hybrid Tea Rose 'Secret', a stunner in the Chartres Garden, is known for its strong fragrance.
Marigolds, like these in the Cutting Garden, are an important flower during Día de los Muertos. Their strong scent is said to lead souls back home from their burial places.
Fuzzy, tube-shaped orange flowers give the Lion's Ear (or Leonotis leonurus) plant its name. Native to South Africa, it is a striking feature in the water-wise Sunken Garden.
Arbutus unedo, or Strawberry Tree, grows gracefully below the Balustrade behind the House, with its dark green leaves setting off clusters of delicate white flowers. This plant is native to Ireland and is common in the area around Muckross, the Bourn's Irish estate.
