Topiary Balls & Domes
Ball shapes can be used as single pieces to give structure, substance and form to your garden. They give the garden an added dimension providing balance in your herbaceous borders and have the benefit of an evergreen presence for winter enjoyment.
Box (Buxus sempervirens) ball shapes can be as round as footballs or similar to the London Dome shape.
Recently designers have used Box balls to form cloud hedging, as seen in Chelsea 2004, to create different patterns on the lawn. They are also popular to place either side of your front door in planters.
Commonly used plants are Box (Box) (Buxus sempervirens) and varieties, English Yew (Taxus baccata) and Holly (Ilex) verieties.
