Asian plants are generally small to medium leafed plants that create all sorts of textures and different color greens in the garden. The asian style here is not the stark Zen style, but rather a version which is softer. Grasses and shrubs create many textures and give a soft feel. If you use asian plants in a modern garden though, you can achieve the starker look of a Zen garden.
