Box Topiary Cubes - 10inch square
Cubes - 7litre sized pot
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.
The photos to the right show some of the ACTUAL SPECIMENS on offer. We
are offering TWO box CUBES which are 20inches in height inc. the pot,
and are 10inch each side of the cube.
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.

last right into summer. A fabulous RED leaved plant, it will contrast well
