Tis the Season for Topiary: Selection and Care

Each year, it is hard to resist the temptation to pick up a few festive indoor topiary plants to enhance the magic that is Christmas. The artful forms of topiary plants and shrubs are perfect in their ornament to celebrate the holiday season. Topiaries can be charming when adorned with festive ribbons and holiday show-stoppers when draped in twinkling lights. Many garden centers and grocery stores sell these seasonal artfully pruned or trained plants, evergreens, and conifers in geometric and representational forms. However, the regal and elegant houseplant topiaries easily add a festive formality to your interior holiday decorations. These artful houseplants also provide an opportunity for indoor gardening during the winter for many who are now homebound with recent surges in the pandemic.
