Topiary Balls

Real & artificial topiary balls

Topiary balls are a popular choice for British gardens. Whether hanging or in pots, they’re great for framing entranceways and adding extra greenery to your space. 

In the range here at Primrose, you’ll find a selection of real Buxus topiary balls, Japanese holly balls and Yew topiary balls. These plants are great options if you’re looking for real plants for your garden, although they will require regular maintenance to keep their shape.

If you’re looking for a topiary ball that will demand less of your attention, take a look at our artificial topiary balls. These low maintenance, fuss-free additions to your garden will still add the wow factor.

Our topiary balls are available potted or hanging, so you can choose the best type to suit your garden design.

How do I maintain my topiary balls?

The most important thing to remember when maintaining topiary balls is to keep on top of it. It’s very easy to fall behind on trimming your topiary ball, which will quickly lead to it losing its shape. Regularly trim the topiary balls with cutters to maintain their spherical shape. When trimming, we recommend starting from the top of the ball and shaping downwards.

Where should I put my topiary balls?

Topiary balls can be placed almost anywhere in your garden. For maximum impact, we recommend placing them in pots either side of your doorways, or at the start of pathways and stairs.

Hanging topiary balls also look great on hooks as a framing feature around entranceways. Likewise, they also can make an impact when hung along fences.
