Much of the rhododendron ponticum is still in flower throughout the wild garden. The climb up the rhododendron viewing towers is worthwhile to enjoy the colourful display. The late flowering rhododendron hybrid ‘polar bear’ (can you guess the colour of the flower?) is at the peak of its powers and the aptly named ‘glowing embers’ azalea lights up the woodland clearing just off the drive.
You cannot miss the collections of foxgloves all over the garden and do seek out a clearing close a to the 2nd rhododendron viewing tower where 6 Chilean lantern trees are in full flower.
