What’s In Bloom – June 27, 2023

What's In Bloom

Throughout the gardens, kousa dogwood (Cornus kousa) cultivars with a great variety of form in flower, leaf, and bark are prominent and remarkable this week. A few flowers to keep an eye out for are yarrows (Achillea),  sage (Salvia) and goat’s–beard (Aruncus). Primroses (Primula) in various vivid colors are blooming in Slater Pond, which is currently filled with very active and vocal frogs!
