There are some plants that are true showstoppers, whether their flowers, foliage, texture, or fragrance catch your attention. Introduce plants as focal points in your garden to create dynamic displays.

In garden design terms, we tend to think of these as focal points; an area of the garden to which a visitor is automatically drawn due to its decorative nature.

For instance, evergreen Laurus nobilis (bay laurel) will offer green foliage all year round and, if you are feeling creative, you can look to create topiary using Buxus sempervirens (common box) which when close-clipped will form intricate shapes and sculptures.

So, here are ten of my favourite plants to use as focal points in the garden.

An evergreen conifer with interesting and instantly striking branches. It’ll start growing slowly at first, but once it’s established it can grow up to 25m height. Happy in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered spot where it will offer much architectural beauty.

This exotic flowering tree has clusters of white flowers that appear in summer. Happy in any moist but well-drained soil type, though it likes to be situated in sunny position that also provides some shelter. It is a deciduous tree so you’ll need to be handy with a rake or have a garden vac.

In summer a display of green leaves give way to a mix of orange and red leaves in autumn. After the leaves have fallen away in winter, the branches reveal interestingly shaped patterns; flecked with peeling bark. In spring, the yellow foliage appears with red flowers.

This medium sized shrub is a great accent plant as a focal point for gravel gardens. They are tolerant of any well-drained soil, so if you have heavy clay soil, they will happily grow in a container. Preferring a sunny spot, this clump forming evergreen will produce a fan of green leaves all year round. If you’re lucky, nodding white flowers bloom in panicles in summer.
