Plants
Sculptural plants with naturally interesting and striking shapes can be best used as focal points within a garden design when used adjacent ordinary ground covers and shrubs. Sculptural plants can also have impressive impact within a landscape design when planted on mass over an area. The repetition of the sculptural plants striking form can provide a strong geometric and structured design to a space. Some layout ideas are as follows: For a strong geometric pattern, plant at regular intervals based off the spread(diameter) from the centre of each plant. Keep plants aligned as straight as possible. For a more naturalistic appearance plant in clumps spaced at similar spaces as above but this can vary. To use sculptural plants as focal points, the use of singular specimens on their own in a smaller garden will be adequately effective but occasionally in a large garden or landscape they can fade into the background too much. To reduce this problem just minimize other planting surrounding it or add a few more so the focal point ends up being a clump.
