If you are wanting to create a Japanese garden on a budget, then choosing plants that are both inexpensive and grow quickly is a sensible consideration. Some bamboo will immediately add instant impact, although choose the variety carefully and always opt for a clump-forming variety. Alternatively, contain the roots with a barrier, to prevent it spreading and taking over the entire garden after just a few years.
