Would you like to visit the botanical garden to see your favorite plants? Would you like to see them in bloom during your visit? Our flowering calendar is perfect for you—it highlights notable groups of plants and the times when they bloom. The flowering periods are approximate and depend on the weather conditions of the given year. Of course, we couldn’t include every single plant, as the list would be endless.
Cold weather won’t stop the flowering of the common witch hazel. Its large flowers bloom throughout the winter and last until the first days of spring. Plus, they have a wonderfully sweet scent.
When to visit? December–March
Cyclamen, snowdrops, and talovinas bloom even under the snow. Later, crocuses join them, and tiny irises, daffodils, and tulips bloom in the rock garden. There’s also a profusion of bluebells.
When to visit? February–March
In spring, these palm-sized flowers captivate just about every visitor. Did you know that magnolias are sort of like the dinosaurs of the plant world?
When to visit? April
In our botanical garden, you’ll find not only cultivated varieties but also wild tulips. Early varieties bloom first, so it’s best to plan your visit over a longer period of time.
When to visit? Mid-April–May
Did you know that there are over 1,000 species of rhododendrons found almost all over the world? The Royal Horticultural Society lists over 28,000 cultivars of these beautiful shrubs in its registry.

Peonies enchant every visitor, whether they are herbaceous or tree peonies. You’ll find them in our sections dedicated to Asia and the Mediterranean.
When to visit? May

Their flowers last only a single day, but fortunately they produce many blooms that open one after another. Daylilies are plants that typically bloom at the start of summer.

Want to see the perennial beds at their best? The best time to visit is during the summer, when most species (especially North American ones) are in full bloom.
When to visit? June–September: peak season; May and October: off-season
Delicate annuals (and we have plenty of them) are planted after the last frost in mid-May. They really show off their beauty during the summer months and bloom until the first frosts arrive. Mexico, Chile, and South Africa are thus another great summer destination.
When to visit? June–September
The symbol of fall is the colchicum, a poisonous beauty with large flowers that you should avoid touching. Did you know that after pollination, colchicums produce seeds located near the underground bulb? These seeds emerge along with the leaves in the spring.
When to visit? September–October
Come enjoy the sunny start of fall at the botanical garden and get inspiration for your own garden. Asters and small asters bloom from late August through November and require an airy, sunny spot to grow.
When to visit? September–November
