What are the best plants for a Heart Shaped Topiary?

English ivy, creeping fig, jasmine, creeping jenny and grape ivy are all great plants that can be trained to grow on frames for indoors or outdoors.

If using real plants, continue to train them around the wire frame as they grow.

When the frame is full, you will need to trim the extra growth to keep the shape of your frame.

These plants can also be purchased as faux plants.

I like to only use faux plants inside my house, so that I don’t have to care for them.

I know, some of you are cringing.

Step 3: Cut 4 to 6 pieces of twine about 5 inches long. Tie one skewer onto the heart frame and stick it into the floral foam or potting soil. Trim the ends of the twine.

Step 4: Once you have the one side tucked in, now it is time to stick the second skewer into the other side of the heart form and tie the skewer to the heart form.

Step 5: Now, you just need to gently twist the greenery, whether real or faux, around the heart form. It’s just that easy.

If you are making the heart topiary with a real plant, be sure to water it well. You can trim any long pieces of the plant that is too long to wrap around the heart form.

Water regularly.
