SinceĀ summer (a.k.a. dry season) is the season of sunflowers, the Palazzo Verde garden is currently filled withĀ several towering sunflowers in full bloom. It's easy to spot the garden from afar as there's a stretch ofĀ vibrant yellow-orange petals that stand outāmaking it the perfect backdrop to your photos. Tip: A silhouette of theĀ castle-likeĀ Palazzo Verde can also be seen behind the sunflowers if taking the photos from a certain angle.Ā
"As soon as possible" would be the best time to visit the sunflower garden because sunflowers are known to have a short lifespan of two weeks. Unless the current sunflowers in the garden will be replaced with new ones once it reaches the end of their life cycle, you wouldn't want to end up going all the way to Las Piñas and find a field of wilted, dried sunflowers.
