Coral bark Japanese maple
This Japanese maple is a small garden stunner, taking to pots and containers with ease while perching comfortably on a deck or shading a outdoor living space. But, it’s not the low maintenance that makes this plant shine- it’s the myriad of splendid colors it puts on display throughout the changing seasons. From minty green leaves and coral bark that transforms to a brilliant light color in winter to leaves that burst with fiery yellow and orange during autumn, it’s a sound choice for any small garden.
Landscape rose
The landscape rose, or Rosa ‘Flower Carpet’ is as easy going as it gets when it comes to plant maintenance. This rose is of a newer variety, developed to withstand disease and the harsh elements. Not at all picky, you can plunk these flowery little darlings anywhere, from a container to a hedging or along a pathway. They take over gardens with blooms that explode in delicious hues of creamy whites, pinks, reds and gold from spring until fall.
Dwarf hinoki cypress
Add a bit of shape to your mini plot with a hardy dwarf conifer, offering the favorable qualities of slow growth and little maintenance. The dwarf hinoki cypress hails from Japan, popular for it’s thick, lush appearance and deep green hue. They come in all sorts of quirky shapes, and work great as a focal point in a garden, or used as screening. You can even plant them in containers.
