Frequently asked questions

1) What defines an “Oriental Garden” plant palette?
It’s a design-forward mix emphasizing structure, texture, and calm color—plants that look intentional year-round and pair beautifully with stone, gravel, wood, and minimalist hardscape.

2) Are these plants suitable for the San Francisco Bay Area?
Yes—this collection is curated for typical Bay Area conditions, including mild winters, dry summers, and many part-shade courtyards. Always check the individual product page for sun exposure and watering needs.

3) I have mostly shade—can I still achieve the look?
Absolutely. Many Oriental-style gardens rely on layered shade texture. Look for ferns and broadleaf evergreens, plus a few architectural accents for contrast.

4) What are the fastest ways to create privacy in this style?
Bamboo (where appropriate), narrow evergreens, and layered screening (tall + mid + low) create privacy that still feels light and refined.

5) Do you offer design / planting help?
Yes. If you want a cohesive plan (plant list, spacing, and layout), we can help you choose the right sizes and quantities for an Oriental-inspired look.

6) What if I’m not sure which cultivar/size to pick?
Start with your goal (feature tree vs. privacy vs. shade texture), then choose by mature size and sun exposure. If you share photos and approximate measurements, we can recommend a clean, balanced combination.
