One, two or three balls. Zero care.
These are real boxwood and juniper, preserved at their peak and shaped into the classic ball forms. A single sphere suits tabletops and pedestals. Doubles and triples add height beside doors, fireplaces and corridors. The foliage stays soft and green for years without water, light or trimming.
Preserved is for interiors and covered spaces. Sun and damp are the two things that age it.

Single, double or triple: which ball form fits the space?
Single ball: the calm one, for tabletops, pedestals, hall consoles, and pairs flanking a door where ceilings are low
Double ball: adds height and rhythm beside doors, fireplaces and corridors without looking heavy
Triple ball: the tall statement for high-ceilinged rooms, stairwells and flanked entries
Boxwood or juniper foliage?
Juniper tends to outlast boxwood, and its surface is softer and more textured. Boxwood preserves into the classic tight, deep-green sphere. Both are real foliage preserved at its peak.
Care is the same for both. Keep them indoors and out of the sun, and dust them occasionally. Neither needs water. The process is explained in how the foliage is preserved.
How do designers stage the ball forms?
Singles work in odd numbers on tables, or in threes down a long console. A single on its own belongs on a pedestal, where the sphere looks like sculpture.
Doubles and triples need flanking positions: both sides of a door, a fireplace or the foot of a stair. Leave enough ceiling that the top ball has air above it.
The pot finishes the piece. A heavy planter grounds a triple, and a low bowl turns a single into a centerpiece.
Hospitality buyers order matched sets for corridors because preserved pieces stay identical. They do not grow or drift, so there is no odd one out in year three.
Questions about preserved ball topiary
Single, double or triple: how do I choose?
Choose by height and how busy you want it to look. A single looks calm on a table, a double adds height beside a door, and a triple is the statement for tall rooms and flanked entries.
How long do they last?
Years indoors, with nothing but occasional dusting. Boxwood lasts around seven years and juniper longer.
