Accent
Accent or 'companion' plantings as they are sometimes known are grown to complement bonsai trees when being exhibited. They are placed near the bonsai and often reflect the tree's character, adding a
natural
element to the
display. |

A good accent plant can be charming in its own right and may be displayed on its own or as part of a group. However, when next to a bonsai tree it must not be overpowering or become the
dominant
feature. |

So many different species and
varieties of
plants are suitable for accent plantings that the possibilities are almost endless and it becomes a matter of individual choice. Even plants considered to be weeds can be utilised to good effect. |
