Topiary update


Last year I planted my Corgi topiary and showed it off with my darling dog, Toby standing next to it. I affectionately call it a "Tobiary". Well, I overwintered it in my greenhouse and the white bacopa bloomed all winter!
Now the Tobiary has been moved to the open deck of my home for the summer and is looking magnificent! The bacopa is still blooming (a year later) and has grown so long, that it completely encircles the front of the statue! A real show stopper for visitors!
Remember, this is a soiless container so I feed it liquid fertilizer at least once a week. The topiary is actually "standing" on a plastic bin lid that is lipped and is kept full of water, so the statue doesn't dry out. Very important for this project.
