Topiary

Topiary is the art of shaping plants into structured, ornamental forms, bringing elegance and definition to any outdoor space. At Folium and Flos, we stock a wide selection of topiary plants suitable for both traditional and contemporary landscapes. Whether you’re framing an entrance, lining a path, or creating a striking focal point, topiary adds formality and flair to garden designs.

Please see our availability list for our full stock of topiary plants. If there’s a particular shape or species you’re after that isn’t listed, we’re happy to source it for you.

Some of our most popular topiary plants:

• Taxus baccata (English Yew) – classic choice for balls, pyramids and spirals

• Ilex crenata (Japanese Holly) – evergreen alternative to box with fine-textured foliage

• Laurus nobilis (Bay Laurel) – aromatic foliage and strong form, ideal as a lollipop standard

• Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam) – hardy and dense, well-suited to structured pruning

• Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ – vibrant red growth adds seasonal colour to shaped forms

We also offer specimen cloud-pruned topiary for those looking to create standout features or signature planting within their landscape design.
