An obelisk is a wonderful addition to the average UK garden for a long list of reasons. This beautiful and rather elegant support structure delivers instant drama to any planting scheme, providing a feast for the senses as well as a great base to add interest vertically.
Obelisks are particularly popular in more compact gardens. But, whatever the size or shape of your outdoor space, an obelisk can serve as a stunning focal point all year round. Even after foliage has died off, the obelisk itself is a lovely, sculptural feature that really makes a space. An obelisk is also practically perfect, supporting climbing plants, keeping foliage tidy and manageable, and encouraging the airflow that keeps plant life healthy and happy.
If we’ve convinced you that adding an obelisk is the right next step for your spring garden, you’re going to need some plants to fill it.
Runner beans and your obelisk
From sweet peas to something actually edible, runner beans are great additions to garden obelisks, and now is the perfect time to plant them. For foliage that’s a little fancier, try French beans instead, they’re tender, slender, sweeter and utterly tasty.

With their intricate look, incredible colour and great variety, dahlias are popular additions to UK gardens as well as top choices for those who enjoy cut flowers. With wildlife also loving this extra special bloom, growing them in your garden this spring really is a no brainer. Yet, with dahlias having a reputation for being difficult to grow, many choose not to.
Adding this showstopper to your garden doesn’t have to be tricky however, especially if you follow our top dahlia growing tips below…
Plant at the right time
Whether growing from seed, stored tubers or pre-grown potted plants, the best time to plant your dahlias outdoors is after the frosts have passed during mid-spring. When planting your dahlias, leave plenty of space in between each. Dahlias need room to grow and, once in full bloom, fill out these gaps beautifully to ensure elegant and full displays.
Water them well
After planting, water well, covering with a layer of mulch to keep that moisture in. Dahlias need regular watering to flourish, especially during their growing season.
Fast growth can also be promoted with additional feeding. Ground planted dahlias should be mulched, while container grown plants benefit from potassium-rich or tomato feed applied every two weeks from July to September.
Support your showstoppers
For taller dahlia varieties in particular, the right support is crucial to healthy growth and happy plants.
As dahlias are very top-heavy, they need the help of plant supports to stay upright. Most varieties can reach up to 1.2 metres in height, and some climb beyond this to over 2 metres. Keep them looking beautiful by shopping for plant supports with us.

Adding this showstopper to your garden doesn’t have to be tricky however, especially if you follow our top dahlia growing tips below…
Take your pick
Dahlia growing success often comes down to the species you select and its suitability for your garden. Thankfully, there are so many dahlias to choose from, some of which may be better suited to your garden than others.
Waltzing Mathilda, Happy Days, Pretty Woman and Gallery La Tour are all compact varieties that thrive in containers. Their shorter stature also makes them great additions to border fronts. Most dahlias are taller and should be placed in the middle of the border.
Choose your spot
Dahlias need the right conditions to thrive in UK gardens. They do well in warm, sunny but sheltered areas with moist yet free-draining soil. Avoid planting your dahlias in very dry or very wet conditions as this may cause rot.

Adding colour and character to your garden after a long, bleak winter is simpler than you think with one of our beautiful garden arches. Go one better by introducing roses to your garden arch and create the English country garden you’ve always dreamed of.
Which rose varieties are best for garden arches?
When picking the perfect companion for your garden arch, you’ll quickly discover that the possibilities are endless in the rose family. Climbing roses are the best choice, with their strong stems made to be trained. They also flower repeatedly ensuring gorgeous displays for most of the year.

Rambling roses are another option – while they don’t flower as often, they do make for a dramatic garden arch look. Most rambling rose varieties flower during early summer, but provide big, bushy foliage for most of the year. They also grow vigorously, which is great if you want to establish a beautiful garden arch fast.

How can you take care of your rose garden arch?
For a lush garden arch, getting the position just right is crucial. You’ll need a good deal of daily sunlight to encourage healthy growth, while the soil at the foot of the arch should be fertile and well-draining for the best results. Plant roses either side of your arch and water thoroughly. Remember, roses need annual pruning and feeding to stay in tip top condition.

A good, sturdy arch is a vital piece of the puzzle too. Shop our garden arches today to discover just that!

Why a garden arch is the perfect spot for roses
From small, courtyard gardens to expansive grounds, a garden arch maximises vertical space to give you more opportunities to plant your favourite blooms.
For roses in particular, a garden arch creates the perfect conditions for great growth and a truly stunning display. Roses can be easily trained thanks to the ease of maintenance that goes hand-in-hand with a garden arch. An arch also allows better airflow to keep stems and foliage healthy and disease-free.
We love rose garden arches – here’s why you should too!
Not all plants are suited to being grown on a garden arch. With their long, flexible canes and hardy nature however, roses don’t fall into that category.
Roses are ideal for garden arches for so many reasons. They can be trained, tied and shaped easily around an arch, while their powerful fragrance will excite all the senses every time you glide through.
