Feature plants (architectural)

A single shrub or tree capturing attention all year round and that can be used as a focal point in the garden. Plants have architectural qualities when they have a distinctive growth habit such as a column or cone. In general use trees, shrubs, conifers and some perennials and grasses, as well as palms and cactus all have architectural qualities. Conifers with their clean shape make good candidates. Or choose plants with tiered or horizontal branches, or a weeping growth habit. ; Top tip: Check height and spread measurements, particularly making sure it will not grow too large for the intended space. You want a feature plant, not something that will overpower everything else in your garden.
