April Blooms

Get ready for a flurry of pastels in the garden this April! Late-blooming azaleas will carry their pink, purple, and white tones into this month. Classic spring staples such as delphinium, foxglove, and snapdragons will greet you as you enter the garden. Amaryllis and crinum lilies will present large, impressive blooms as they come out of dormancy. Other climbing plants such as honeysuckle and roses will make their debut as the weather warms up. This is the perfect time to throw on your spring clothes and get a dose of color at Magnolia!

Stop by our Magnolia Blooms Station to experience the freshest highlights of the season, where daily clippings offer an up-close look at spring’s most captivating treasures. It’s a living snapshot of our gardens, ever-changing and always filled with beauty.
