Gardener's Log
06/2017: Planted behind garage next to southwest corner
06/2020: Moved to north side yard next to coral bark maple
This guy was part of a mass planting behind the garage in 2017. I’ve since decided that my design was too wild and disorganized, so I decided to move him to an open spot next to our coral bark maple. The color and leaf shape complements the maple’s own warm color palette quite nicely.
