...the gold pedestal really makes this corner of the garden pop. The trunks of the bananas are like columns in a room, and the the burgundy leaves of the loropetalum are their perfect companion. The huge leaves of the rice-paper plant (Tetrapanax papyrifer, USDA Hardiness Zones 6-11) add to the tropicalismo feel of this space.
Nice for a shady backyard? Like my shady backyard? But where do you find all these things -- rice-paper plants and loropetalum? Not at my Home Depot.
This from Lucille 4/18/2011: If you are still wondering about this bush, I saw them today at Walmart They are about 15 inches tall and 18-24 inches around and I think the cost was about 6 or 7 dollars.
Very interesting! So Lucille is now shopping at Walmart!
