Prepare for an explosion of color in March at Magnolia! This month, the Azaleas create a sea of pink in the landscape as they bloom. Different varieties of Saucer and Star Magnolias add sweet scents and interesting textures to the garden. Tulips flower in our entrance beds alongside snapdragons, violas, and a variety of greens. Late-season Camellias continue their color into the warmer weather of spring and present showy flowers in all different forms.
Our Bloom Station, carefully curated by our Horticulture team, offers a glimpse into the seasonal blooms found throughout our 66 acres of gardens. Located near our Welcome Center, just past the arbor, this display is updated daily with fresh clippings of flowers and plants currently in bloom across the property.
Next time you visit, be sure to stop by and use it as inspiration for your garden stroll. Below is an image of our Bloom Station in March. Keep an eye out for each bloom in the gardens—it’s the perfect way to appreciate Magnolia's natural beauty!
