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.

SAMBUCUS BLACK LACE - Black
Dissected Elder One of the most exciting
hybrids of recent years has been this amazing lacy leaf pure BLACK form
of Sambucus. This is simply a MUST HAVE plant for any garden! It's leaf
form is very like a JAPANESE MAPLE, but this Sambucus is much easier to
grow and maintain, requiring no particular soil, position, or watering.
It is deciduous, so you are going to lose those stunning leaves over
winter, but the reward is that this plant bursts into black leaf in
early spring, and in early summer, Sambucus Black Lace is covered in
sprays of large PINK flowers which are superb against the black
dissected leaves.
This is an EASY plant to grow, and can cope with most conditions, and
can be used in the garden as a specimen plant, or in a pot for a patio
display. We are offering very large 12litre specimens, which are
5-6ft inc. pot.
12litre (5-6ft inc. pot)
