Terrific terraces
At Seemly Terrace and the house terraces spring is the time to see herbaceous plants in flower. Some highlights include:
- primroses
- bleeding heart (Dicentra)
- hellebores
- euphorbia
- corydalis,
- wallflower (Erysimum)
- elephant's ears (Bergenia)
- tree echium (Echium pininana).
Super shrubs
The lower half of the garden is the place to go to see an abundance of camellias, rhododendrons and, azaleas in flower, amongst the tree ferns which thrive in the sheltered valley. The climate here, which is as mild as in South Cornwall, allows the tree ferns to go uncovered throughout the winter; something which is uncommon in this country.
