How to create an oriental garden
Ground cover
Low-growing groundcover is used extensively in oriental gardens. Planted in, around and over rocks, gravel and pathways, it also looks great as the edges of borders. Try something like Pincushion moss (Leucobryum albidum) in shady spots or around rocks or the grass-like black leaves of Black mondo (Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’) for more contrast against gravel and other plants.
Top 10 oriental garden plants for ground cover:
1) Pincushion moss (Leucobryum albidum)
2) Sphagnum moss
3) Carpet moss (mnium hornum)
4) Haircap moss (Polytrichum commune)
5) Black mondo (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens')
6) Red hook sedge (Uncinia Rubra)
7) Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum var. pictum)
8) Big blue lily-turf (Liriope muscari)
9) Mind-your-own-business (Soleirolia soleirolii)
10) Creeping thyme 'Snowdrift' (Thymus serpyllum 'Snowdrift')
