When it comes to creating a landscape garden plan, the most difficult thing is often the starting point: selecting the first type of plant. Then, from there, companion plants are selected. The small garden design below was designed using the Tea Olive (Osmanthus fragrans) as a the featured specimen plant. Use the design "as is" or modify it to fit your unique garden space.

Feature Plant Description

The cultivar ‘Bonanza’ produces the deepest fuschia-red flowers of any Camellia sasanqua. The gorgeous, double, "peony-form" flowers are produced in abundance over a long blooming period: from fall to mid-winter, depending on the weather. For a sasanqua, the flowers are quite large (2-3 inches). Elliptical, dark green, glossy leaves with toothed margins are held on thin stems alternately. The plants have a spreading, mounding habit to 5-6 feet in height with an equal width.

This would be a great garden. I have a Marie Bracey Camellia that I want to plant in the ground. Although larger than the Bonanza camellia it should look nice as a background plant with the azalea and other plants around it. Thanks for a nice design.

Thanks, John, you're welcome:-) Any red-flowering camellia could be substituted in this garden design. The taller growing varieties would probably work best "limbed up" into a small tree that will help shade the plants.
