We have a stone sink, [about 12 x 18 inches, about 9 inches deep] I'm hoping to put a dwarf japanese maple in it, - any species that are a reasonable price plus what to plant with it? I'm thinking it should be ericaceous compost? Thanks

no buds on roses

azalea from seed

Japenese Dwarf Maple will need a loam-based compost. One which has a % of organic matter, John Innes No 2 would be ideal. Make sure you have old broken pottery or stones at the bottom as it needs good drainage. Keep your soil moistened, feed in the spring and don`t over water. Place in a sheltered spot and perhaps cover in the frost.
