Early Signs of Spring for Biltmore Blooms

Biltmore Blooms | RoadGuides.com

Biltmore’s gardeners are preparing for an early flowering season in Asheville for Biltmore Blooms, the estate’s annual spring celebration. Biltmore Blooms begins March 20 and runs through May 25, 2017. Expect the showstopper of more than 50,000 tulips to kick off this year’s celebration, blooming in mid to late March.

A progression of flowers takes center stage with lavish displays inside Biltmore House and thousands of spring bulbs blooming in gardens designed at the turn of the century by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Crocus, forsythia and daffodils are among the first flowers. After March’s grand tulip show, April and May promise irises, roses, acres of azaleas, and mountain laurels and rhododendrons close behind.

For trip planning, stay up to date with what’s currently flowering with weekly reports from the estate’s Director of Horticulture at Biltmore.com/bloomreport.

This spring visitors have an additional reason to visit Biltmore House: a special exhibition, “Designed for Drama: Fashion from the Classics.” Inspired by George Vanderbilt’s love of literature, “Designed for Drama” showcases more than 40 award-winning movie costumes from films based on favorite books in his collection. The exhibition runs through July 4, 2017.
