Baden-Baden in Bloom

🗓️ January to March

Delicate yet resilient, they take their place along the Lichtentaler Allee and Kaiserallee as soon as the first rays of sunshine come out. It doesn't matter whether there is snow or not. The name comes from the fact that the flowers are able to pierce a blanket of snow with their flower heads.

🗓️ Mid-February to end of March

Not only the "Crocus tommasinianus", but also numerous Crocus hybrids enchant the promenade from the Trinkhalle to Lichtenthal Monastery with millions of crocus blossoms. The first warm rays of spring sunshine lure out the countless flowers in all shades of blue-violet, white, purple and even a little yellow.

🗓️ March to April

In spring, the city's "green lung" - the Lichtentaler Allee - sinks into a sea of thousands of magnolia blossoms. The colors range from pure white to pale pink and purple. But the Stourzda Chapel and the villa areas are also enveloped in the magnificent splendor of the magnolia blossom and can be discovered on a walk.

🗓️ March to April

They are among the first plants to bloom in spring, impressing visitors with their magnificent flowers in front of the Trinkhalle, in the Hector-Berlioz-Anlage and along Lichtentaler Allee and transforming the lawn into a carpet of white or pale pink flowers.

🗓️ March to April

The sea of millions of yellow flowers can best be observed during the Easter period on the meadows along Lichtentaler Allee, the ornamental garden Paradies, Kaiserallee and in front of the Trinkhalle and Kurhaus.

🗓️ End of March until May

During the fruit blossom season, Baden-Baden is dressed in pink and white flowers and the idyllic orchards are at their most beautiful. Along stage 2 of the Panorama Trail, you can particularly enjoy the blossoming fruit trees. Not far from the Lichtentaler Allee, you can also experience the blossoming of the fruit trees at the Leisberg fruit estate, even in a historic orchard.

🗓️ April to mid-May

In spring, the tulip garden conjures up a cheerful carpet of flowers in Lichtentaler Allee, with 7,000 tulips in 64 different varieties. In the Kurgarten and in front of the Theatre, the tulips bloom in finely composed mixtures that create a special play of colors. How wonderful!

🗓️ End of April to mid-May

The lush bloom of the rhododendron makes the Michaelsberg, the Geroldsau waterfalls, the Lichtentaler Allee, the arboretum and the driveway to Merkur mountain a particularly picturesque sight. Fun fact: There is a species named after Baden-Baden - the Rhododendron repens 'Baden-Baden' with deep red flowers.

🗓️ May to October

In the Rose Society Garden, 1,000 different rose varieties unfold their full splendor. And did you know that it is also the venue for one of the most important international rose novelty competitions? And that's not all - you can also smell the rosy scent of flowers from afar in the Gönneranlage.

🗓️ June - July

The scent of honey wafts along Lichtentaler Allee when the old lime trees are in bloom.

🗓️ Mid-August until frost

Every year, over 1,800 dahlias in 64 different varieties bloom in the dahlia garden on the Klosterwiese, from the small-flowered ball dahlias to the water lily dahlias and the large-flowered cactus dahlias. They delight thousands of visitors from near and far with their blaze of color.
