The Medium Boxwood Topiary Ball UV Resistant 28cm delivers the classic precision-clipped spherical topiary form at a compact scale suited to container arrangements, potted displays, pathway borders, and entrance styling. 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.
Designer 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. In groups of three or five, the medium 28cm ball creates ordered botanical arrangements that read as considered and professionally maintained.
Three medium topiary balls in a wide outdoor planter beside an entrance, or a row of five at consistent spacing along a garden path — the compact boxwood sphere creates formal botanical order that living hedging takes years to achieve and requires constant maintenance to sustain.

The compact topiary ball — precise botanical form at a scale that works in containers, on plinths, and in garden arrangements.
Potted arrangements and container gardens. Two or three medium topiary balls in a wide planter create an immediately polished botanical arrangement — a technique used by landscape designers to add structure to terrace and courtyard plantings without the maintenance of shaped living hedging.
Pathway and border accents. A row of medium topiary balls at consistent spacing along a garden pathway or border edge creates botanical rhythm and visual order — a formal garden technique that requires no pruning to maintain.
Entrance steps and porch styling. A pair of medium topiary balls flanking a doorstep or at the base of entrance columns provides a classic, symmetrical botanical welcome — a standard residential specification for designers working in formal and contemporary styles.
Indoor table and surface display. At 28 centimetres, the medium ball is appropriate for large indoor surfaces — console tables, dining table centrepieces, and commercial reception surfaces where an outdoor-rated specimen is used in a sheltered indoor context.
Events and brand activations. The compact scale makes medium topiary balls a practical event specification — easily transported, repositioned, and used in multiples to create branded botanical arrangements.
Pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining. Used in groups along pool coping and outdoor entertaining areas to introduce structured botanical form at a scale appropriate to the surfaces and spaces.
Retail forecourts and hospitality entrances. Paired or grouped at commercial entrances to introduce a botanical statement that signals quality and considered design.
Childcare, healthcare, and education outdoor areas. Non-toxic SafeTex-certified materials confirm suitability for all outdoor institutional environments.
Ready for immediate placement and quick to assemble together. The Medium Boxwood Topiary Ball UV Resistant 28cm can be used freestanding on flat outdoor surfaces or placed in a pot or planter with decorative gravel or mulch. For pathway and border arrangements, press the base into soil or a pot medium. For planter arrangements, combine with a larger 44cm or 48cm ball for scale variation. The ball is stable on any level surface and requires no mounting or fixing.

Yes. The Medium Boxwood Topiary Ball UV Resistant 28cm is fully rated for outdoor use including direct Australian sun exposure. ISO-certified UVTex UV inhibitors are integrated within the leaf material — not surface-applied — ensuring permanent colour stability. Frost resistant. Covered by a 12-month warranty. Suitable for garden beds, pool surrounds, pathway borders, and all outdoor environments.
The 28cm medium ball is the compact specification — suited to container arrangements, pathway accents, entrance step styling, and mixed arrangements where scale variety is required. The 44cm large ball is the statement specification for standalone placement in garden beds, at entrances, and in commercial outdoor environments where the topiary form needs to register from a greater distance. Both are UV-certified with ISO-certified UVTex construction and a 12-month warranty.
For a container arrangement, three to five medium balls of the same or mixed foliage types in a wide outdoor planter create a full, considered display. For a pathway border at 60 centimetre spacing, five to seven balls suit a standard residential pathway run. For entrance steps, a pair is the classic specification. For event tablescapes, one or two per table setting provide botanical structure without interrupting table sightlines.
Yes — the 28cm ball is specifically suited to pot and planter display. Press the base into potting mix, decorative gravel, or a foam block within the planter to stabilise. The ball can also sit on any flat outdoor surface without additional support.

The Medium Boxwood Topiary Ball UV Resistant 28cm is a UV-certified outdoor botanical specimen modelled on the precision-clipped spherical topiary form of Buxus sempervirens — the common boxwood. 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.
