Crape Myrtle Topiary Archway - Ancient Style
This is a living topiary plant, trained into a decorative archway form. Interlaced stems and expressive proportions give this design its sculptural character. The open lattice creates depth through the framework and encourages a view of the living structure from more than one angle. Ancient Style is the name of the design. The arch form provides a decorative outline for a landscape entrance or a change between garden areas.
Why Choose This Archway?
Choose this style when the garden calls for a focal point with an individual outline. The woven framework works particularly well against plain walls, calm paving and planting that leaves room for the form to be appreciated.
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.
