Crape Myrtle Topiary Vase - Double Gourd

This is a living topiary plant, trained into a decorative vase-shaped framework. Two rounded sections meet at a narrow waist to form the distinctive Double Gourd silhouette. The interlaced framework follows both curves, giving the plant a layered sculptural outline and an open pattern through its body.

Why Choose This Vase?

The Double Gourd design is suited to an individual feature position. Its unusual outline provides a point of interest in a simple courtyard composition or among planting with quieter, less defined shapes.

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.

Landscaping and Design Uses

• Create a focal point in a courtyard or terrace planting scheme.
• Introduce a sculptural feature beside a garden entrance or seating area.
• Combine the defined vase outline with softer surrounding planting.

Size and Proportions

• Height to vase rim: 250cm
• Width (maximum diameter): 85cm

Vase height is measured to the rim of the trained framework. Foliage extends above this; an overall height is stated separately where available.

Preferred Growing Conditions

Choose a warm, sheltered position in full sun with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and check moisture regularly in dry weather, particularly if the plant is kept in a container. In frost-prone gardens, plan suitable winter protection. Maintain the trained outline with careful, species-appropriate pruning, preserving the main woven framework.

Summary

With its Double Gourd design, this Crape Myrtle topiary brings a defined living form and ornamental stemwork to a carefully chosen outdoor setting.
