Kare-sansui landscape plant matching

Quick answer:

Kare-sansui, or dry landscape gardening, is a traditional Japanese horticultural art form that emphasizes the use of stones, sand, and sometimes moss to represent natural landscapes. Plant selection in kare-sansui landscapes is minimal, often limited to low-growing, slow-growing, and drought-resistant plants to maintain the simplicity and the natural feel of the design. Key considerations include the size and shape of the plants, their color, and how they interact with the rocks and sand to create a harmonious composition.
