They contain over seven hundred different varities of rhododendrons, as well as camellias, blue hydrangeas and specimen conifers. Before his death, Sir William was able to say that he had planted a specimen of every conifer, except ten, known to man and considered sufficiently hardy to stand a chance of surviving the British climate.
