Flowering times

What blooms on Mainau Island in the fall?

The island of Mainau in the fall is a place of beauty and wonder. While the hawthorn bears its red fruits and chrysanthemums set colorful accents in combination with various grasses, every now and then the gingerbread tree fills the air with its scent of caramel. The arboretum becomes a true autumnal beauty when the trees there glow in warm autumn colors, from yellow and orange to fiery red.

But the main protagonists of the autumnal island scenery are undoubtedly the more than 11,000 dahlias that bloom in an impressive variety in our dahlia garden. They shine in all imaginable shapes and colors and lend the island an incomparable beauty. From delicate pastel shades to vibrant reds and bright yellows, almost every color is represented. 

A walk across the island at this time of year promises unforgettable moments and a feast for the senses.
