Out and About in the Arboretum

A popular choice among many gardeners, petunias thrive in full sun and provide abundant blooms in many different colors.

Our magnolias will keep their bright white blooms well past Labor Day. They are known for their large blooms and rich green leaves.

The large, colorful blooms of the Rose of Sharon bushes are taking off! A member of the Hibiscus family, this plant is popular for its color and hardiness.

Today we feature the iconic Monarch butterfly! These brightly-colored creatures are unmistakable. And although this one has suffered some damage to its wing, it is not painful nor does it impact its ability to fly.

Hydrangeas (the name comes from Greek and means ‘water vessel’) will be blooming for just a bit longer so be sure to enjoy them while you can!

It is a great time to be a Crape Myrtle! You can see them blooming all over campus in shades of red, pink and white.
