Immerse yourself in the stunning landscape across our 250 acres as the seasons change at NYBG.

AZALEA GARDEN – The Mother’s Day crescendo of white, coral, pink, and purple azalea blossoms is one of the Garden’s most striking seasonal spectacles. Set amongst the dramatic rock outcrops, steep slopes, and dappled shade of centuries-old native trees, this garden is beautiful throughout the seasons with plants in bloom nearly every day of the year. Alongside the azaleas and rhododendron, you’ll find a diverse assortment of flowering trees and shrubs, woodland perennials, bulbs, ferns, and grasses. Collections in this garden include dogwood, mountain laurel, hydrangea, spicebush, witch-hazel, epimedium, hosta, hellebore, snow-drop, and ferns.

TREE PEONIES – In early May, a shady plateau above the Rose Garden becomes one of the Garden’s grandest spectacles with the flowering of the more than 100 mature specimens in the Dolores DeFina Hope Tree Peony Collection. Tree peonies, close relatives of the popular garden peony, are actually low shrubs with stout stems and softball-sized flowers. The cultivars in this collection hail from China and feature enchanting names like ‘Lotus That Shines in the Sun’ and ‘Dragon Coiled in the Mist Grasping a Purple Pearl’. They are a not-to-be-missed highlight just before the Rose Garden springs to life.

LILAC COLLECTION – With its bountiful clusters of flowers, sweet scent, and heart-shaped leaves, the lilac joyously proclaims spring’s arrival in gardens up and down the East Coast. The Burn Family Lilac Collection celebrates this favorite American garden shrub in all of its glorious forms, colors, and scents. Lilac lovers have flocked to The New York Botanical Garden to see and smell these charming flowers since 1896. The 2016 expansion of this historic Collection showcases antique specimens as well as new disease-resistant lilacs, tall tree lilacs and dwarf lilacs, and flowers that smell sweet and others that are spicy. Early, late, and even reblooming lilacs and specimens selected for their autumn color ensure that this garden boasts interesting sights and smells long after its initial spring blooms.

There is so much more to see…take a trip to the garden today!
