Rowallane Garden

Acknowledged as a real plantsman’s garden, Rowallane is renowned for its peaceful, intimate character. The garden’s 21ha of natural garden contains plants from many parts of the world: daffodils, rhododendrons and azaleas flower in spring and reach their peak around the end of May and early June; summer flowering trees and shrubs continue the display. The walled garden, which houses the national collection of Penstemon, herbaceous plants, fuchsias and shrub roses will flower until autumn frost; the rock garden with primula, meconopsis, heathers and dwarf shrubs is of interest throughout the year. Autumn in Rowallane brings a spectacular display of colour in foliage and berries .
