A true corkscrew, cut by hand.
A boxwood spiral is the hardest classic shape to grow and the easiest to get wrong — the turns have to be even, separated and cut into a plant dense enough to hold them. These are hand-clipped over years, not trained around a form.
Ten spirals from $895, four to nine feet. At these sizes pieces travel by freight, so delivery is quoted with the spiral rather than hidden in the price.

Questions about spiral topiary
How is a boxwood spiral made?
A boxwood spiral is cut by hand into a dense, well-grown plant, one turn at a time, over several seasons. That is why a good one costs what it does — the shape is years of growth and clipping, not a frame.
How do I keep the spiral sharp?
Trim lightly once or twice in the growing season, following the existing turns rather than cutting new ones. The week of June 1 is our own rule, so new growth covers the cuts by late summer.
Do spirals need full sun?
Bright light keeps a spiral dense, which is what keeps the turns readable. In poor light the plant thins and the shape blurs — that is when a preserved spiral is the better answer.
How are large spirals delivered?
By freight, upright and crated, across the US and Canada. Delivery is quoted with the piece so the full cost is settled before anything ships.
