Ideas for you
The success of this garden lies in the microclimates created by layering plants:
Form shaded areas and windbreaks by planting a back layer of tall bamboo where the foliage can create a canopy, then plant shade-loving plants in the middle layer followed by fillers.
Choose plants that have similar growing and watering requirements – check labels when buying. This will make maintenance easier in the long run.
