Topiary Buxus sempervirens spheres are a classic feature of the country garden, and look good planted alongside billowing herbaceous plants as a contrast.Here in this garden which I overhauled last year, I removed a huge mound of old lavender, and ivy growing over the piers of the wall, and planted 2 box spheres to frame the steps. Nepeta (catmint) will fill in along with the Alchemilla mollis and Geranium Johnson’s Blue. This already beautiful garden with its Yorkstone wall and Wisteria arbour, now has some planting that will it enhance it further.
