Interlocking sweeps and drifts of foliage and flower make for a handsome and easy care garden. The balance of evergreen and deciduous ensures good winter structure in addition to plenty of long lasting summer blooms for color. The massed planting of the green form of the Japanese forest grass introduces a sense of movement as it catches the breeze. In early summer, the new growth of Osmanthus 'Goshiki', tinged with burgundy,speaks to the dark foliage of the Japanese maple.
