When I see this picture, I think that I should have stopped planting here. The Japanese Maple “Red Pygmy” makes a beautiful focal point, and the design is simple. (In our next home, I’ll practice more restraint.)
This picture also shows the Camellia that we brought from our condo. It’s making a comeback!
I loved this Japanese Maple “Waterfall.” It didn’t make it though. This area of the courtyard receives way more sun than I had thought. In fact, I ended up moving most everything because this courtyard gets tons of hot, afternoon sun.
When I first designed the courtyard garden, I added stepping stones to serve as a patio, and I thought the courtyard received more shade. I planted Japanese Maples and Ferns in strategic places.
