View full detailsTopiary balls, a classic and elegant form of topiary, add a sophisticated and visually striking touch to any garden. These perfectly sculpted spheres are created from small trees or shrubs and meticulously shaped into round, geometric forms. Topiary balls provide a unique way to add both structure and elegance to your outdoor space, offering a timeless and versatile design element.
Topiary balls are relatively easy to care for but require regular attention to maintain their neat appearance. They are often kept in pots, which necessitates consistent watering and high-quality compost. To support their health and reduce the frequency of pruning, using a specialist topiary fertiliser is recommended. This type of fertiliser helps control excess growth and promotes a balanced shape.
Topiary balls are a timeless choice that enhances both formal and contemporary gardens. They thrive in partial shade and benefit from regular feeding and maintenance. A good trim, traditionally performed on Derby Day, in June, along with occasional touch-ups throughout the year, will ensure your topiary balls remain in excellent condition.
The growth rate of topiary balls can vary significantly depending on the type of plant and its growing conditions. At Grasslands, we offer a diverse range of topiary balls, each with its own growth characteristics. For example, evergreen varieties such as Boxwood and Yew typically grow at a moderate pace, gradually developing their dense, rounded shapes over several years. In contrast, faster-growing species like Hornbeam can achieve their ball shape more quickly but may require more frequent trimming to maintain their form.
To ensure you choose the right topiary ball for your garden, click on each product to view detailed information about its specific size and growth rate. This will help you select the best option to suit your garden’s needs and desired look.
Ensure consistent moisture, especially if the topiary balls are kept potted. Regular watering is crucial but avoid waterlogging.
Pruning is essential to maintain the desired shape and health. Use sharp shears to trim off any protruding branches. Light, frequent trims will help keep your topiary balls in form, with a more significant trim recommended in late winter or early spring. Touch-ups throughout the year will keep them looking their best.
Use a high-quality topiary fertilizer to support healthy growth and maintain a balanced shape. This will help control excess growth and reduce the need for frequent pruning.
