This butterfly topiary stands 20 inches tall, 24 inches long and 10 inches wide, with wings shaped from hand-crafted, powder-coated wire and filled with sphagnum moss. Fine wire legs and antennae extend from the body, giving the silhouette a delicate, insect profile against the solid moss wings.
Its scale and shape suit a garden bed, border or wall spot where a single butterfly accent reads clearly, and it works alongside other insect topiary shapes such as the dragonfly for a mixed planting.
The moss holds its green color without mowing, and it can be underplanted or have trailing plants trained through the wire for a fuller look over time. Because each piece is built by hand, the stated dimensions are close approximations, so wing shape and moss coverage vary slightly from one butterfly to the next.
