At 28 centimetres, this is the most versatile scale in the Designer Plants topiary ball range — small enough to sit on an outdoor surface or in a pot, significant enough to anchor a formal outdoor arrangement. The dense boxwood foliage is clipped to a consistent sphere, maintaining the clean geometric form that defines topiary design. Constructed from LDPE with integrated RealTex and UVTex UV inhibitors — integrated within the leaf, not surface-applied — and rated for direct Australian sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner Plants supplies medium topiary balls to residential garden designers, landscape architects, commercial fit-out specialists, and event designers who require the formal boxwood topiary aesthetic without the pruning schedule, climate sensitivity, and establishment time that living boxwood demands.

Topiary balls are a defining element of formal and contemporary garden design, valued for their clean geometric form, consistent scale, and the visual order they introduce to outdoor spaces. Designer Plants' UV-certified RealTex and UVTex construction replicates the dense, fine-textured foliage and consistent spherical profile of a well-maintained living boxwood ball without the pruning, climate sensitivity, or establishment time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- END BLOCK 2 dp-j1-v1 --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Designer Plants AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47914808311973,"sku":"1001590","price":44.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/8006\/8261\/files\/1001590_c9b87290-faf8-47fa-8d56-8e41740543e7.jpg?v=1781427160","url":"https:\/\/designerplants.com.au\/products\/medium-boxwood-topiary-ball-uv-resistant-28cm","provider":"Designer Plants AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
