Ranka 19" Artificial Boxwood Topiary Ball - Large - Indoor/Outdoor

I bought these for my front porch urns. My landscape architect, who designs fancy English gardens in Atlanta, wouldn't allow me to use real boxwoods because he said he didn't want to drive by my house and see dead boxwoods. He is adamant that if you don't have a sprinkler head in the pot, you will not water it accurately and it will DIE. So, in response to other reviewers, yes, if you are up close it looks fake, but which is worse; a dead, unkept plant on your porch or this lovely green ball that looks nice year round? And have you noticed that the people with dead stuff on their porches aren't ever in a hurry to get rid of it? Well, my porch always looks as amazing as the rest of my yard with these topiaries in my urns. I wasn't thrilled with the shipping, one of mine had a big dent in one side, but I didn't feel like returning, so I just put the dented side down in the urn. I shopped around and these are a GREAT PRICE!

The two boxwood balls were too big for my use and we're a wierd color green---they did not look like a boxwood color. After many attempts the seller in Thailand would not let me return them. I donated both balls to a church. I was very dissatisfied in Ranka.

These are made very well, look wonderful. We had a large party at our house, someone fell and landed partially on the topiary and it got smashed in. I slipped my finger inside or inbetween the branches and it pulled out nicely and back to good shape. Worth the money in my opinion as they make quite a statement! Beautiful! Just as pictured!

The Arizona sunshine deteriorates these boxwood topiaries and the leaves become discolored and break off in the wind. Not ideal for being outside in the Arizona climate.

At a distance, these boxwoods look real. However, up close they look like plastic. They are hard to anchor the bottom firmly in the ground. I used pegs, but have not had serious wind yet. Time will tell if the pegs hold. I love these from a distance because they are so perfectly shaped.

I bought three of the 19" size. They look fake. The problem is the color. The two tone part of the leaf that is dark green is almost a black. They're adequate for what I'm using them for, but I was hoping for something a little less fake looking. (I purchased some smaller ones in the exact same style from a home goods store and they look real.)

They look so close to real...very good size and shipped quickly. Will use seller again..also good price! Quality!

These are lovely. I have them in Terra cotta urns on my covered front porch. After my summer plants gave out, I just set these on top of the urns. Another is outside my garage & is unprotected. I'm going to gave to weight it down because a couple of wind gusts have sent it tumbling. But it's very nice having that green out all winter.

Arrived on time and the product is as described. The topiaries look just as I was hoping and I am really enjoying the look of them in my planters. Thank you.

Not good...it is not round but flat on the bottom..a rip for sure

The color is off. Not a natural boxwood green. Poor quality product for the price.
