I just saw Carol Long in the garden and asked for a prediction of when the March Bank will be fully blue. With the next few days of warm temperatures, it will begin its transformation from yellow and white to blue. She guesses it will be at the peak of blue in about one week, around the 23rd of March.
Anytime between this weekend and Easter, guests will likely see blue in some areas of the garden. Right now, the East Terrace is blue. Towards Easter Sunday, large areas of Glory-of-the-snow (Chionodoxa) and squill (Scilla) near the Pinetum will be blue. My best advice is to come to Wintethur weekly (or daily!) through the spring to catch every bit of beauty, peace and color.
Pick up your ticket or have your membership card scanned at the visitor center. Enjoy the day in the garden and house, then check out the spring plants and the new cafe at the museum store. Come enjoy the Winterthur Garden this spring!
