These two spheres imitate cedar foliage rather than boxwood, and the difference shows in the leaf. Cedar carries finer, more feathered growth in several shades at once, so the balls are built with leaves in different shades of green rather than one uniform tone, which is what makes them lifelike and appealing instead of flat. Each ball measures 18 in across the outside with a 12-in inner opening, sized to drop over a flowerpot between 8 in and 12 in wide. That hollow construction is the point: an existing planter becomes a finished topiary with nothing repotted. The pair also works resting on the floor or set into a vase. The leaves are PE and non-smell, and they resist sun, water, and fading for lasting use, so a set left outdoors through a season does not come back pale or brittle. No maintenance is required to keep them evergreen, with no watering, sunlight, pruning, or fertilizer at any point. Each ball ships as two halves that secure together with interlocking connectors, clips, and zip ties. Installation is a breeze and requires no tools at all, and shipping in halves is why the set arrives compact rather than as two bulky spheres. The pair weighs 4 lbs together, the lightest set in the range. If a ball looks compressed after transport, put it in the sun or blow it with a hair dryer and the shape returns. The set is ideal for decorating a home, restaurant, wedding, front porch, balcony, or patio.
