Are the azaleas blooming yet?

Coming in March 6-10

Thanks!

The azaleas in Savannah typically begin to bloom in early March, so you’ll likely be able to catch them in full bloom during your visit from March 6-10. However, the exact timing of the bloom can vary from year to year depending on the weather. If the temperatures in February were warmer than usual, it’s possible that the azaleas could bloom a little earlier. On the other hand, if there were colder spells, the bloom might be a bit delayed. Either way, early March is a great time to see the azaleas at their best.

Here are a few places in Savannah where you can enjoy the azalea blooms:

  • Forsyth Park: This is one of the most iconic spots in Savannah, and it’s known for its beautiful display of azaleas in early spring. The park itself is stunning, and the azaleas lining the paths are sure to be in bloom during your visit.
  • The Historic District: As you walk through Savannah’s charming streets, many of the homes and gardens in the Historic District will be adorned with vibrant azaleas. Be sure to stroll along streets like Abercorn and Bull Street for great views of azaleas in full bloom.
  • Jepson Center for the Arts: Located in the heart of downtown, this modern museum is surrounded by lovely gardens, and it’s another spot where you may see azaleas blooming.
  • Bonaventure Cemetery: While a cemetery might not be the first place you think of for flowers, Bonaventure is a stunning and peaceful place, especially when the azaleas are in bloom. The cemetery is known for its beautiful landscaping and is a great spot for a quiet stroll.
  • Green-Meldrim House: This historic house and its gardens are another good place to catch some lovely azalea blooms. It's located near St. John’s Cathedral and is part of Savannah’s beautiful architecture and gardens.

Overall, your timing should be perfect to enjoy the azalea season in Savannah. You may also want to check out the Savannah Tour of Homes and Gardens, which takes place during March and often includes tours of homes with amazing gardens featuring azaleas and other spring blooms.
