Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Choose a location in your garden or container where you want to place the obelisk.
- Gently push the spiked feet of the obelisk into the soil. Ensure it is stable.
- For container use, place the obelisk into the pot before planting.
- Plant your chosen climbing plant at the base of the obelisk.
- Gently guide the plant's stems to encourage climbing.
Compatibility
The Willow Garden Obelisk is compatible with a wide range of climbing plants, including:
- Clematis
- Sweet peas
- Climbing roses
- Honeysuckle
Care
- To maintain the obelisk, inspect it periodically for any signs of damage or wear.
- During dry periods, water the obelisk to prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle.
- If desired, apply a natural wood sealant to protect the willow from the elements, extending its lifespan. This is an optional step.
- Trim back any loose or frayed willow strands to maintain a tidy appearance.
