Where to Place Your Spirals

- bringing structure to formal or contemporary planting
How to Care for Leylandii Spirals
Keep well-watered in the first season (and regularly in pots during dry spells). To maintain that crisp spiral shape, give a light trim once or twice a year — typically late spring and again in late summer if needed. A spring feed will keep the foliage lush and vibrant.
Caragh Garden Notebook
Topiary is all about contrast: underplant your spirals with lavender, heucheras, trailing ivy, or seasonal bulbs in pots for a layered, high-end look. Add a pair of uplights at the base and they’ll look spectacular after dark.
