Summer is sadly drawing to an end, but the good news? The Garden is still putting on a show.

Rosa-'Chewmaytime'-Flower-Summer-1-HMS25

Oso Easy® Paprika Rose (Rosa 'Chewmaytime')

Growing in the Amphitheater, this fiery little shrub has seen its fair share of concerts.

Rosa-'MOORcar'-Flower-Summer-HMS25

Magic Carousel Rose (Rosa 'MOORcar')

These vivid pink flowers greet you along the path in the Rose Garden.

Agastache-rupestris-Flower-Summer-HMS25

Sunset Hyssop (Agastache rupestris)

You may smell this beauty before you spot it! It's a feast for the senses and a magnet for pollinators. Growing in the Rose Garden.

X-Rudbeckia-'ET-RDB 01'-Flower-Summer-1-HMS25

Summerina® Orange Echibeckia (X Rudbeckia 'ET-RDB 01')

This hybrid glows like a mini sunset and, even better news, you don't need a ticket to see it. You can visit it along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, just outside the Amphitheater gates.

Datura-wrightii-Summer-HMS25

Datura-wrightii-Summer-1-HMS25

Sacred Datura (Datura wrightii)

This is a Utah native treasure. The dramatic white trumpets open at dusk, luring in nighttime moths. This is another one that can be seen just outside the Amphitheater gates.

With the heat easing up and the Garden still in full swing, now is the perfect time for a visit.
