DATES ARE APPROXIMATE! This event is highly weather-dependent. Dates will be revised as needed depending upon bloom time. Dates cover the entire bloom season, with peak usually in the middle.

Celebrate the end of winter at the Gardens during Daffodil Days & Tulip Extravaganza! There are thousands of beautiful blooms – starting in February with crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths; followed closely or perhaps concurrently depending on weather by over 150,000 brilliant Dutch tulips. In addition, spring annuals and azaleas bloom, making it the biggest display of color between Dallas and Memphis all season.
