A sturdy wire frame is carefully inserted into a pot of Ivy with very long runners and the Ivy vines are meticulously woven onto the frame. Ivy does not naturally wrap itself around a frame (it uses adventitious roots to attach itself to a solid surface) so all our weaving is done by hand. Most of our Ivy Topiary designs are meant for you not to see the frame under the Ivy vines and leaves; for the Rustica (rusty wire) designs the wire frame is an integral part of the product and is meant to be conspicuously seen.
