What's in Bloom
Below are some plants that are especially interesting or typically in bloom this month at Duke Gardens.
Every year unfolds differently, depending on seasonal weather conditions. Many flowers are also blooming earlier than usual. Here is a map showing some of what was blooming as of March 11. We will update this map frequently through peak bloom seasons. We hope you have a chance to visit soon!
