Cupertino, California Low Water Garden Design & Lawn Replacement
Photo by Patrick & Topaze McCaffery of Taproot Garden Design & Fine Gardening "The deciduous Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku' (Coral Bark Japanese Maple) shows off it's beautiful red bark to anyone who passes through the garden on the gray decomposed granite path. Growing beneath the Japanese Maple is Baccharis pilularis ‘Pigeon Point' (Dwarf Coyote Brush), an evergreen ground cover that's an excellent lawn replacement plant. Here, each plant has grown from a one gallon container to three feet wide in one years time."
