What’s Blooming in July?
The chart represents the earliest and latest bloom times I have seen around the Twin Cities since I started tracking. Factors such as temperature and precipitation play a large role in how a plant fares year after year. Northern MN should also be a bit later than Southern MN.
Only native plants, and locations in Ramsey County are listed here. If you are looking for something specific, try the “find in page” feature of your browser (usually CTRL+F).
