Karesansui, also known as 'dry landscape' or 'rock garden,' typically employs a minimalistic approach to gardening. Commonly used vegetation includes mosses, such as the Japanese green moss (Makihohoh) and Japanese stone moss (Sedum sarmentosum), which thrive in the shade and moisture provided by the rocks. These plants are chosen for their ability to survive in the sparse, low-maintenance environment of karesansui gardens.
