they are laid out in spectacular groupings containing hundreds of specimens
Explanation:
I'd use "specimens" for ejemplares and "laid out" or "arranged" for dispuestos, and I think your best word for "conjuntos" in a garden is "groupings".

Dividing a flower border into bold plant groupings according to height. Background; large groups of tall plants. foreground: shallower, wide groupings of small plants.

Consisting of principally herbaceous material, ***laid out in family groupings,*** this is an invaluable resource used for research and teaching. For many visitors, the display of over 80 families of flowering plants in a relatively small area provides an opportunity for insight into the amazing diversity found amongst the flowering plants.
