Topiary plants can make for exquisite additions to anyone’s deck, landscaping, and are even used indoors by some.


These creatively shaped plants, trees, and shrubs add a lot to space. That said, real topiaries unfortunately take a lot of time to grow, skill to shape, and are notoriously expensive to buy. Artificial topiary plants are far more affordable, already shaped to what you want, and will maintain the same look indefinitely.


How you choose the right topiary plant for your home or business can depend on several things.


What Are Topiary Plants?


Topiary plants are when you take a tree or shrub and turn it into a decorative shape. A topiary plant is not, in fact, a type of plant or tree. Any greenery can be turned into a topiary though evergreens are, far and away, the most common type. Here are some other plants that are routinely used for topiary plants.



  • Boxwood
  • Yew Bush
  • Privet Shrubs
  • Japanese Holly Shrub
  • Rosemary
  • Lavender
  • Thyme

    What Factors Go Into Choose A Topiary Plant?


    When you buy topiary plants online, the first thing most think about is the type of tree, plant, or greenery to pick.


    From there, next up in the shape. This is the big attractant. Artificial topiary plants are very attractive, creatively engaging, and are entirely different from other houseplants and silk trees. Some topiaries resemble more traditional trees while others are shaped like spirals, spheres, triangles, squares, and some toy with the size of these shapes in unique ways as well.


    Another aspect to look at that is quite obvious is size. Some boxwood topiary plants are under three feet. They are nice to buy in pairs and arrange along pathways or in front of a home presentation-style. There are also faux topiary plants that are five feet high and even taller. A homeowner, landscaper, or décor expert wants to make sure they get the right size for the environment they’re being put in.


    A final note: Don’t forget about the planter. You may already have a planter in mind or are intending on purchasing one with your topiary. Due to the often-elaborate visuals of this type of plant, you don’t want to distract from it with the wrong planter. A planter for a topiary should be somewhat understated, minimalist, and in simple colors.
