Crape Myrtle Topiary Column - Classic Lattice
This is a living topiary plant, trained into a decorative column-shaped framework. The repeated interlacing of living stems creates an open framework with a clear, ordered rhythm. The lattice pattern allows light and views through the structure, making the trained stemwork an important part of the ornamental display. Its column form emphasises the vertical line, making it useful as a distinct accent within the wider planting.
Why Choose This Column?
Classic Lattice brings a sense of structure to a planting scheme. Its repeating pattern can complement formal layouts, contemporary paving and gardens that use distinct architectural features to organise the space.
Features of Crape Myrtle
Crape Myrtle brings seasonal change to the trained framework. Green foliage and summer-to-autumn flowers complement the living structure during the growing season, while its deciduous habit reveals more of the stemwork in winter. The bark adds further textural interest. Flowering depends on the growing conditions and season.
