Artificial topiary balls

Most of our faux topiary balls are specially treated with a UV resistant coating and can be used outdoors all year round. These include our boxwood ball (pair), boxwood triple ball tree, boxwood single ball tree and our large 60cm topiary ball.

Our outdoor topiary balls are happy in the sun, rain, wind and even snow, but in extreme weather and storms, we always advise that you move them to a more sheltered home. For more info, read our article on protecting artificial plants from extreme weather.

A few of our artificial topiary ball trees include natural wood stems to really pull off the look. This does however mean that they need a little extra thought if you’re thinking of planting your topiary ball trees in the ground.

To plant artificial topiary in the ground:

1. Dig a hole slightly larger than your plants pot
2. Add a layer of stones or sand to the hole to help with drainage
3. Pop your plant in and check it’s straight
4. Fill in the gaps with earth and press down to keep it secure.

For full instructions and tips to preserve the life of your topiary ball trees, visit our guide to planting artificial trees in the ground.

When it comes to planting hanging topiary balls, you can simply bury the chain into your potting medium or stake the ball into the ground with a peg.

Our artificial trees are designed to be low faff for you, and they will be... trust us! Arranging the foliage sounds complex, but in this case, it's really just fixing up any foliage that was flattened in the box.

To do this, start at the bottom of your tree and gently work the foliage out. Remember that topiary is designed to be tight... so in other words, you don't need to do too much.

If in any doubt, give us a buzz and one of our team will be happy to help. 😊
