Recommendations for nice looking faux boxwood balls?

10 years ago

I've been seeing them on One Kings Lane and other online resources, but nothing locally...yet, anyway. I want to put a faux boxwood "ball" in a planter or urn at either end of my mantel for the holidays. If you've ordered a good one online, can you share where you found it? I don't want something that looks cheap and plastic-ish! I'd prefer to see it IRL before buying, so maybe I can wait a bit and some will appear at my local Christmas/nursery shop.

Homegoods and TJ Maxx (Central Florida) both had some yesterday. They had different sizes, some a little smaller then a basketball.

If you are talking about the preserved - they are not faux. I've seen them online - try googling preserved boxwood. You might also check Miss Mustardseeds blog - she uses them alot.

I bought mine on Amazon. They are identical to preserved boxwood topiaries I have seen in Home Goods, etc. (But, must add the disclaimer that past Amazon ordering is no indication of future Amazon performance!)

Here is a link that might be useful: Amazon topiary
