Preserved topiary is a real plant whose sap has been replaced with a glycerine solution, so it keeps the look and feel of living foliage without needing water, light or trimming. Because it is genuine plant material and not plastic, it looks right close up. It is intended for interiors and covered spaces, not full weather.
Real boxwood that stopped needing you.
Preserved boxwood is real foliage taken at its best and treated with a glycerin process, so it keeps its color and softness without water, feeding or daylight. Use it in a lobby with no windows, an office nobody waters, or a restaurant where a dying plant is a review.
There are twenty-two pieces here from $450: balls, cones, spirals and moss forms, 30 to 84 inches. Preserved foliage is for interiors and covered outdoor space. Sun and damp are the two things that age it.

Add character with preserved topiary
Preserved topiary trees bring the charm of an English garden indoors, without all the formality. More people now want that mix indoors: traditional structure with a casual, modern feel.
Preserved boxwood topiary balls and other shapes
TopiaryTree.net has a wide selection of preserved topiary plants. Each preserved boxwood topiary ball is dense and full of texture, and it needs very little upkeep indoors. If you prefer, we also sell artificial boxwood plants for the same low-maintenance look.
How preserved topiary is made
Preserved topiary starts as real plant material. It is treated so it keeps its natural shape and color without sunlight, water or soil.
Because it is real greenery, it looks more authentic than a fully artificial piece. Choose it when you want the look of a live plant without the care. It is used in homes and in commercial spaces, and it holds its shape and color for a long time.
Preserved pieces stay inside. For outdoor areas at the same property, many customers add large artificial topiary balls so the whole display matches and stays low-maintenance in the weather.
Entrances and covered spaces
Preserved topiary makes lobbies, hallways and covered porches look more elegant. The shaped greenery can frame an inside doorway or line a corridor without blocking views or crowding the space. The look is traditional with a modern edge. For a bolder statement outdoors, where preserved foliage cannot go, look at our topiary sculptures.
Use a topiary ball to frame an entrance
Set a preserved boxwood topiary ball inside your entryway to highlight the entrance, or use a pair to frame a fireplace or a doorway. A well-placed ball adds structure and a touch of formality, and guests notice it. Our faux topiary trees do the same job with clear lines and without cluttering the space.
Where preserved topiary works, and how to look after it
Preserved topiary trees suit hotel lobbies, offices, restaurants and retail spaces. They bring greenery to a room without constant care.
Made from high-quality materials, our preserved boxwood topiary ball holds its color and shape year after year indoors. An occasional dusting is all it needs. So if you want a big visual impact without trimming, preserved topiary is a sensible choice.
Planters for preserved topiary
Several of the glazed planters in our range are large enough for an atrium or a lobby. For preserved pieces indoors, the material a planter is made from matters mostly for weight. A decorative planter for topiary trees also makes the piece more stable.
Preserved Topiary — common questions
Is preserved topiary real?
Yes. It is a real plant that has been preserved, not a synthetic copy, so the leaf texture holds up at arm’s length.
Does it need water or light?
No, it needs neither. So it suits rooms with no daylight, where nothing living would survive.
Can it go outside?
Only in a covered space. It is designed for interiors and covered spaces, so for full outdoor exposure choose artificial or a live plant.
How long does it last?
Years, indoors and out of direct sun. Direct sunlight is what fades preserved foliage fastest.
