I like making accent plants to go along with Bonsai trees being displayed at a show. I actually like growing them even if they never made it to a Bonsai show. One of my favorite plants to use is Ajuga – Chocolate Chip which is a ground cover type perennial and they have blue flower spikes during the summer. I have made a page for them here: Ajuga Chocolate Chip – Accent Plant under Accent Plants/Kokedama and Bonsai Basics pages.
