“Kotoji, Red Dragon and Ryu Sei Japanese Maples”
Heatherwood Japanese Garden
The Kotoji Japanese lantern is flanked by the ‘Red Dragon’ Japanese maple on the left and the new ‘Ryu Sei’ maple on the right. The Red Dragon was planted in 2019 when the Japanese garden was first constructed. The Kotoji lantern was added the next spring. We just planted the Ryu Sei this summer. The Ryu has a weeping form. Over time it will grow and gracefully bend over the stream below the Kotoji.
Heatherwood is constantly changing and growing. As long as my imagination continues, I hope to continuously add to to the garden.
