Accent plantings

From BonsaiWIKI

Accent or companion plantings are used in the formal display of bonsai where they serve a supporting role in the composition. Accent plants help depict the environment or season of the bonsai display, which is particularly important for evergreen trees that do not show significant changes from season to season.

Accent plants may be flowering plants, grasses, ferns and even mosses. Sometimes smaller shohin bonsai are used as companion plantings to larger trees, where they may provide a sense of perspective.
