Plants & Gardens

DIY centres are the main places to get plants for your garden or terrace. Simachu has a big variety of orchids, small trees, boxed plants, and hanging plants. It also stocks soils, gardening supplies, supplements, insecticides, and a large variety of pots, ceramic borders, and grass seed. Costco stocks garden furniture and a limited variety of plants. It has a reliable delivery service. Many florists will do some kind of plant order, particularly those associated with larger department stores. Tokyo has a relatively mild climate, so native plants like camelia bushes and pines do particularly well. Many people plant short decorative grass called Ryūhige (dragon’s beard), as ground cover. Jasmine and morning glory are popular for the warmer weather, and many locals keep meticulous rose gardens.
