| Design Ideas | Plant in mass to create a formal border backdrop, or in a long, meandering swath with large boulder accents to give the impression of flowing water. Low water needs make it particularly useful in providing a lush feel to dry shade settings where the purple berries will glisten in dappled sunlight. Blends well into Japanese style gardens. Spot into a perennial bed for texture. An excellent smaller alternative for often overused Phormiums. |
