Faux boxwood balls, 6 to 42 inches.
Artificial topiary balls hold their shape and color with no watering, no trimming and no light. So they end up in lobbies, on roof terraces and either side of a door that nobody has time to maintain. These are UV-rated for outdoor use and built on a rigid internal frame.
Twenty-three sizes and finishes here, from $98. The smaller spheres ship from stock. Anything above the cart ceiling is made to order and quoted with delivery, so the full cost is settled before the order goes ahead.

Large Artificial Topiary Balls, Plus Mossed and Preserved Spheres
Artificial topiary balls in every size, alongside our mossed and preserved spheres.
Our large artificial topiary balls look like traditional clipped topiary and work indoors or outdoors. You do not need to water or trim them.
Topiary Without the Years of Trimming
Choose large artificial topiary balls if you want the sculpted look straight away. Live topiary needs regular trimming and years to fill out and take form. With artificial, there is no pruning and no waiting.
Topiary dates back to ancient Rome, when gardeners shaped trees and shrubs into decorative forms, from geometric patterns to animal figures. It spread across Europe during the Renaissance and became a symbol of refinement in formal gardens. You can still see it in classic landscapes, from the gardens of Versailles to England’s stately manor estates.
Low Upkeep, Indoors and Out
Modern materials hold the sculpted shape in all kinds of environments. Our lifelike preserved boxwood topiary ball has found a place in both homes and commercial spaces.
Our moss topiary balls are made from high-quality, durable materials that keep their rich color and shape. They add a soft, earthy look wherever you place them.
Preserved moss topiary balls suit anyone who wants a low-maintenance way to green an indoor space. You do not need to water or fertilize them, and they will not lose their shape over time. Keep them indoors or in a covered space, because preserved material is not made for sun and rain.
Custom topiary balls can be made to order in other sizes and styles. Use them to frame a walkway or as a focal point in your garden or living area.
Classic Boxwood or Preserved Texture
TopiaryTree.net offers a variety of artificial topiary balls to match your style. Choose faux boxwood for the classic look, or a preserved boxwood topiary ball for its distinct texture.
Questions about artificial topiary balls
Do artificial topiary balls fade outdoors?
Not for years, if they are UV-rated. The foliage is pigmented through rather than surface-sprayed, so it holds its color outdoors for years rather than months. We will tell you honestly what to expect in your climate rather than quote a number that suits us.
What size artificial ball should I buy?
For a pair either side of a door, 16 to 24 inches usually reads best. A lobby or terrace piece starts around 30. Sizes here run 6 to 42 inches, and you can send a photograph of the space if you want a second opinion before ordering.
Are they suitable for a planter I already own?
Yes. The balls come without a container, so they drop into what you have. Send the planter dimensions and we will tell you which diameter sits right in it.
Can I get a matching pair, or a set?
Yes. Pairs and sets are the most common order. We keep your specification on file, so a replacement or a second pair years later matches the first rather than approximating it.
What is the difference between these and preserved spheres?
Artificial is manufactured foliage built for daylight, weather and traffic. Preserved is real boxwood treated to hold color indoors without water or light. Artificial goes outside; preserved stays in.
