Best Plants for an Indoor Topiary
For the gardener who enjoys pruning and snipping for relaxation, a bonsai-sized topiary can satisfy the urge to trim when there’s no outdoor space for a grand English-style topiary or when the weather is simply raining on your green parade.
Miniature topiaries provide plenty of opportunity to snip, trim, and clip to your heart’s content. When you are focused on the simple task in front of you, the stresses of the day melt away. (I’m reminded of the Japanese art of ikebana). Racing thoughts slow down, your breathing normalizes, your shoulders and ribcage begin to loosen. This very relaxing activity is also inexpensive. All you’ll need is a pot, a topiary frame or sturdy wire, and your plant of choice.
A few excellent choices:
-Topiary or grape ivy
- Star jasmine
- Rosemary
- Tea roses
- French lavender
- Scented geranium
- Lemon eucalyptus
