Butterfly topiary

A butterfly topiary is a flat, open-winged piece on a welded, galvanized steel frame, packed with sphagnum moss. It works on a wall, a fence, a garden stake or a table, and in groups of two or three at different heights. Ours start at 20 inches, and larger wings can be built to order.

Flat moss butterfly for a fence

A flat butterfly with both wings open, made to fix to a fence, a shed or a garden wall. It hangs from a bracket, so it lifts off for winter if you like. Send us a photo of the wall and the wingspan you want.

Butterfly group on stakes at different heights

Butterflies on thin steel stakes at different heights, so they seem to float over a bed. Two or three look best, never in a straight line. Tell us how many, the heights and the size of the bed.
