Buying Guide

There is a certain joy that plants bring when added to a porch. Make a slight change to a topiary plant and the area suddenly becomes magical. Complete your front porch with ornamental shapes of nature and create a pleasing spot where conversation flows easily. Topiaries are also a great way to add a welcoming touch to a foyer.

What is a topiary?

A topiary is a plant that has been specially clipped into decorative shapes. The art uses thickly leaved evergreen shrubs such as cypress and yew, but also rosemary and holly.

What are the most attractive topiary ideas?

Spiral Boxwood Topiary Potted Plant

Add grace to your front porch with a 3-foot tall spiral boxwood that will never lose its natural green appeal. The faux plant may come complete in a sleek container, ready to set up and enjoy. No maintenance is needed with real-life leaves that stay green all year round. The spiral design will add an artful and welcoming appeal to family and friends.

Round Boxwood Topiaries for Front Porch

Deck out your front door with beautiful ball-shaped topiaries. Never needing trimming, they will add a pleasing touch of welcome to guests. Use them for your front porch sitting area, as well, to add a bit of color during fall and winter or bring inside to place beside a non-flammable fireplace. Set in weighted pots, there are no worries of your artistic plants being blown over.

Double-ball Faux Topiary

The artistic display of neatly trimmed double shrubs will turn heads at your front door entrance. The unique boxwood foliage, meticulously shaped into a masterful display, speaks of the pride of your home and will make a perfect match for elegant entrances.

Tapered Juniper in Pot

Any corner of your home will come to life with the addition of lush green Juniper. Always shaped to perfection, this plant is fireproof, fade resistant and waterproof. You can sprinkle it with LED lighting to add luster to the branches. Great for traditional or modern decor or for adding natural color to a front porch conversation area. Different heights are available for proportionate beauty.

Hanging Shrub Topiary

Picture a front porch with railing, soft upholstered chairs, and a slight breeze. The only thing to complete this picture is rich green topiaries that are swaying from the porch rafters. Everything seems more pleasing when plants are included and such hanging sweet bay balls of green are the perfect detail for a summer day.
