Japanese Style Container
Using a 24 inch round ceramic bowl set on a pedestal, placed in partial shade.
Azalea "Professor Walters" to planted just back from the center of the bowl. Ruffled edges of red and white flowers againist the glossy dark green foliage of this small shrub are a beautiful eye catcher.
Scotch Moss to be planted just to the left or right a little under the azelea forms a fast growing, dense, spongy, lime green carpet with tiny white flowers in summer.
Japanese Sweet Flag " Ogon" to be planted next to the scotch moss toward the front center. This plant has glossy green and gold leaves and will tolerate drier soil than other cultivators.
Heavenly Bamboo "Harbour Dwarf" has a lovely, lacy foliage thats colors change from pale pink to soft green and then to bronze in winter. This is to be planted to the right of the azelea.
Japanese Garden Juniper "Nang" has evergreen, gently curving branches. This dwarf plant is easy to train and has good form.
To make this container look really lovely, place a accent stone, half buried at the front left section of the container.
