3rd Street Inn Small Cypress Topiary Ball - Artificial Plant Set - Indoor/Outdoor Wedding Party Decor - Faux Foliage Garden Sphere - Tree and Bush Substitute (7", 2 Pack)

Perfect for my purposes. I don't have a green thumb, I am forgetful when it comes to watering plants, and I needed something that was No maintenance. True, upon close inspection they look fake. And it is so perfectly manicured and shaped, if you're not so busy you will notice they are fake. But who cares??? I think it looks great and adds character to my stoop-and no watering!!!!

I took the advise of one of the other reviewers and purchased the oversized boxwood ball (19") My outdoor planters are 16" square at the top. I looked at videos on how to arrange faux greenery. My concern was sand and rocks would retain water. I did not want the planters to retain water. So I took a small plant supporter, turned it upside down, added bricks (without covering the drain hole) for weight. The three wire supports now can secure the faux shrub. It is oversized so I did not need to add anything around it. Now the rain water and snow can drain right through the ball and planter. I supported the planter on bricks- just on the perimeter leaving the drain whole completely open under the planter.

I have been looking for something to fill my front porch planter for over a year. Other than Summer, when my hostas are growing, its just full of dirt. Looked at places online like Pottery Barn, Ballard Design, Grandin Road and was looking to pay $200 each. I am so glad that i purchased these. I couldn't decide which version to purchase ( Jasper, Boxwood, or Cedar) but so happy with the Jasper. It looks so real. For the price, i might purchase the Cedar for Winter months. Great product and price.

I really got so tired of pulling a hose around to the front of my house everyday in Summer, just to water a few plants. However, I did want it to look nice by the front door and the front patio. I decided to invest in these Ball Topiary and I am so glad that I did. At first I purchased two to see how they looked and specifically, if they looked real. They did look real and I ordered 4 more to complete the look I was after. I am so happy with them and even my husband who is a stickler for "real" thinks they're great. I have better things to do than water plants, that I usually cannot even see on a daily basis. You won't be sorry if you order these Balls. Additionally, this is a great Company to work with. I didn't have problems, so I can't speak to their customer service aspect, but I do know the plants were very well packed, arrived in perfect condition and arrived very quickly.

I needed artificial plants for a planter bench I was adding to my deck. I'd seen a lot of these topiary balls in stores but some were a lighter green and not very full. I decided to try these as the reviews were good. I was a bit nervous when the box came in damaged and the balls looked like donuts. However just a quick pull turned them into beautiful topiary balls. The fullness was amazing. After measuring my planter, I was originally going to get a smaller size but my husband talked me into the 19". I'm so glad he did. They overfill the planter which made it look even more beautiful. I have never had so many compliments. They've gone through sunny days and several rain storms and are still as beautiful as day 1. I highly recommend this product and would purchase from this company again as they arrived earlier than stated.

Hard to assess durability. Very attractive and realistic. I call them fauxpiary. Get it? I know, hilarious.We had some old urn like pots that we had plant difficulty with in summer I.e. deer, watering, deer, etc. These solved that problem unless they eat plastic. These are basically a round plastic grid with tufts of plastic plant leaves pushed in. No gaps. Seems sturdy. I attached them with a copper wire around the bottom of the grid part to a brick that fit in the urn. I suppose they could move slightly in a heavy wind, but they’re not blowing away.I followed their suggestion for the size to get. They cover the top of the pot so dirt is not necessary. They come fully assembled and you just plop them in. If using them this way, they need to be wide enough to cover the hole with an inch or two beyond the rim. Their diagram was helpful. Recommended.

I’ve been looking for something to fill two concrete urns that sit on each side of my front door. They are on my front porch, no rain and no sun. I measured the urns, started looking around for ideas and the round topiary suited me. After browsing several companys, I found these faux boxwoods. Shipping was super quick, package of two, problem solved! The pollen has been thick, so I just place them on my patio, hose them off, they dry quickly. My urns measure 11 across the top, I bought the 15 inch topiary. Just perfect!
