Ilex crenata ‘Niwaki’ (Japanese Holly)
Ilex crenata ‘Niwaki‘ is an excellent choice for hotels, especially when displayed in pots. Planted in large containers, these topiaries can frame entrances beautifully while being easy to move or reposition. As an evergreen, these plants provide year-round beauty, ensuring that your entrance remains inviting in all seasons.
Ilex crenata ‘Niwaki‘ can be pruned into striking topiary forms, offering a sophisticated and elegant look. This sculptural quality creates a grand and refined aesthetic, perfect for making a strong first impression at your event entrance.
Taxus baccata (Yew)
Taxus baccata is an excellent choice for event hire due to its timeless elegance and versatility. Known for its dense, dark green foliage, Taxus can be shaped into various topiary forms, such as spirals, cones, or formal hedging, adding a sophisticated and tailored look to any entrance. Its evergreen nature ensures year-round appeal, creating a welcoming atmosphere no matter the season. Yew is highly resilient, withstanding harsh weather conditions and requiring minimal maintenance, making it ideal for the high-traffic environment of an event. Planted in containers or flanking doorways, Taxus baccata topiary provides a striking, luxurious first impression for guests.
Laurus nobilis (Bay Tree)
Size matters: for instant visual heft and a decent bit of height we have these super multi-stemmed specimens of Common Bay. Carefully pruned and trained over many years to create a plant with multiple strong stems and a good thick thatch of aromatic leaves.
A high output of these deeply green (and evergreen) pointed leaves make for a dense and substantial silhouette, and these shrubs add some proper structure and backbone to an event entrance, garden or courtyard year-round.
Cupressus sempervirens (Italian Cypress)
Cupressus is a fantastic choice for hotels due to its tall, slender form that adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication to entrances. Its columnar shape creates a striking vertical accent, ideal for framing doorways or lining pathways, giving a formal and elegant appearance. As an evergreen, it provides year-round visual appeal with minimal maintenance, making it both practical and beautiful for event settings.
