This is by far one of my favorite plants, but then again, I have a lot of “favorite plants”. I have to devote at least on paragraph to this ‘Butterfly’ Japanese Maple. Using ‘Butterfly’ Japanese maple in a landscape design. Looking at the photo below you can see some Heuchera ‘Caramel’ in the planting on the other side of the sidewalk. Heuchera ‘Caramel’ which is burnt orange loves the sun! There’s a photo of ‘Caramel’ at the top of this post. Amber Waves did okay for me in the sun, but not great. I have some with a burnt orange colored leaf and they love the sun! Those with yellow, yellow leaves like Huechera Citronelle will not tolerate the sun. as a matter of fact, most Coral Bells do fine for me in the sun except the ones with a lot of yellow in the leaves. But those with dark colored leaves do perfectly fine in the sun. Using Heuchera, Coral Bells, in a Landscape Planting.Ĭoral Bells are shade loving, shade tolerant plants. There are rules written by so called experts, then there are proven, practical, boots on the ground, things that people like me know work, because we’ve actually done it and not just researched and written about it. But I did, and I do and it works out just fine for me and the Coral Bells. They say things like “Mike, you can’t plant Coral Bells in the sun!” And they are usually pretty mean about it. Now this is where the so called landscaping or plant experts like to slap me around. The colorful plants used as accent plants in this landscape design are Coral Bells, botanical name Heuchera.

Two of my other favorite Junipers are ‘Blue Rug’ and ‘Green Mound’.Ī colorful landscape design idea for sidewalk planting.įrom another angle you can see the Japanese maples and the accent plants used in this design.
It is low-growing, slower-growing than many, and very easy to maintain. ‘Table Top’ is an exception to that rule. There are a lot of Junipers to choose from, and most of them I do not like at all. The greenish blue evergreens that you see repeated in this design are Table Top Juniper. Left untrimmed or lightly trimmed, ‘Butterfly’ would grow to a height of 10′ or more. Even though ‘Butterfly’ is an upright-growing Japanese maple it is a slow grower and in this situation, my wife and I keep it trimmed so it doesn’t hover over the sidewalk and block the view as you walk down the sidewalk. The Japanese maple in the back of the photo, the one furthest from us is an upright Japanese Maple, the variety is ‘Butterfly’. The Japanese maple closest to us in this photo is a Laceleaf Weeping Japanese Red Maple.
