Topiary is the art of shaping and maintaining plants into defined forms such as balls, cones, spirals, and other decorative shapes. These plants are typically evergreen, providing consistent structure and colour throughout the year.
Topiary is widely used to create focal points and add a sense of order to garden designs.
There are many types of topiary available depending on the desired look.
Classic shapes such as balls, cones, and pyramids offer a clean, formal appearance, while spiral and more intricate designs create a stronger visual feature. Topiary can be used individually as statement pieces or in pairs for symmetry.
Topiary provides instant structure and long-term value.
It creates strong focal points, defines entrances and pathways, and adds height and balance to planting schemes. Evergreen foliage ensures year-round impact, making it a reliable choice for consistent garden design.
Topiary plants should be planted in well-prepared, free-draining soil.

Spring and autumn are ideal for establishment. Avoid planting in frozen or waterlogged ground.
