By Lovers Lane Cross Roads an unusual shrub is flowering called the Japanese Sweet pepper bush (Clethra barbinervis).

A short walk from the Iris Garden to Witcher’s Wood will be rewarded by the very interesting  with yellow and orange tubular flowers.

A number of late flowering Rhododendrons can be seen throughout the gardens. Look out for the following  Rh ‘Intrepid ’ an Exbury raised hybrid with red flowers near the Main House and the very scented white flowering  Rh auriculatum flowering throughout the gardens.

Close to the Tennis Court Tea Gardens is a very good flowering New Zealand Lace bark Hoheria sexstylosa with masses of white starry flowers.

Look out for the spectacular Wiggly tree (Platanus orientalis) with its huge trunk and sprawling branches. Planted c. 1730 around the same time as the enormous Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani) in the Home Wood Glade.
