Seasonal Highlights

The Cummer Gardens in Jacksonville reflect the blooming cycle and seasonal variety found in the climate of Northeast Florida. During the fall and winter, the gardens feature bulbs, annuals, shrubs and trees with showy blooms and superb foliage. Typical fall blooming plants are cannas, roses, and dahlias. Winters in Northeast Florida are mild and azaleas, jasmine, sweet peas, pansies and camellias make their appearance.

During the spring and summer, there is a profusion of color and tropical plants. Azaleas bloom in February and March, Agapanthus blossom in May and Crepe Myrtles, appearing in May and June, have the longest blooming season of any flowering tree in Florida.
