  • Approximate wildflower bloom times?

    Question

    Wondering if you have a list of locations and approximate bloom times for NE Ohio wild flowers like Virginia Bluebells, Marsh Marigolds, Blood Root, Spring Beauty and any others you might have on your wildflower radar...?

    Naturalist's Response

    We have many wonderful parks that have great displays of wildflowers in the spring.

    Here are just a few: Headwaters Park (Eagle Trail), Swine Creek Reservation (Valley Trail), Big Creek Park (Trillium Trail, Deep Woods Trail & Wildflower Trail).

    Bloom times are variable based on weather conditions. Your best bet for timing is the second week of April through May. This year, with warm conditions, it may be even earlier than that.

    I’m so glad you are interested in our native wildflowers, and hope you will enjoy many spring walks in search of our spring-blooming flora.
