Buxus Ball Topiary - box balls
& cones
Box is the ideal plant for formal 'natural' garden sculpture. If you are
new to topiary, then a box specimen is an ideal way to begin. They are
fully hardy plants, that only require watering (if in a container) and
clipping to maintain the shape.
Topiary has been used in formal Italian and European gardens for
hundreds of years, and our own English country gardens have some
spectacular displays. Ideal as a lawn compliment, or as a patio feature,
box topiary instantly gives that refined, cultured look to a small
garden.
These make extremely elegant specimens for pathways and front
entranceways to the house. Box topiary can also be used in Italian
Formal Style gardens, and go well with Italian Cypress, Hibiscus,
Wisteria, Jasmine, and upright conifers.
