Bloom 'n Color: Year-round Color Abounds
Are you looking for colorful special attractions during your visit? No matter what time of year you explore our grounds, nature parades finery in a rainbow of colors ranging from bright reds, yellows, and purples to more subtle greens, maroons, gold, browns, and grays.
In the autumn and spring, Ed Hedborn, Plant Record Manager and The Arboretum Color Scout, takes a weekly inventory of what’s in bloom. Read his detailed weekly Fall Color Reports in September, October, and November, and Spring Bloom Reports in April, May, and June.
During the remaining months, look at each appropriate season for a guide to what special hues give the Arboretum its seasonal beauty.
