Japanese Flowering Plants?

Hi,

I'm busy designing on paper my Japanese Garden. Apart from Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Hydrangeas, Cherry trees, Primulars. I'm finding it difficult to find Japanese plants that flower through summer. I just can't seem to find a simple list of plants that grows in Japan. All my Japanese Garden books only mentions Acers, fir trees, azaleas, etc, but not much on the flowering side.

Does anyone know which flowering plants grows in Japan? Do they have bedding plants like us?

Kind regards,

Calum

 

the only flowering plant that comes to mine is japanese wisteria

after that i have no clue but hopefully someone else can help you

 

Chaenomeles japonica maybe?

 

You could look at Chrysanthemum. Arisaema, Iris, Hepatica and Polygonatum. Chiltern Seeds have a section of Japanese Cut Flowers

 

How about.....

Anemone Japonica
Callistephus ( annual asters)
Celosia
Cirsium Japonicum
Lilium Auratum

 

Tricyrtis...................


Arisaema...................


A couple of orchids - Cypripedium and Dactylorhiza.

 

Here's a link that may give you ideas Calum. Just click on the pictures to find out more about the plants through another website.

Sorry, didn't know you left messages until now when I came to check a word. Thanks for the info and photos. Didn't think about orchids, so will be looking at them
