Topiary balls - buying guide

There are a number of different ways you can use artificial topiary balls - they usually come with removable chains so that they can be hung up on brackets or placed in pots to imitate small shrubs. You can also place them in flower bed arrangements but they will need pinning down.

Brackets

If you decide to hang up your topiary balls, you'll need a bracket to put them on. Choose something hard wearing such as powder coated steel or quality stainless steel for a long lasting attractive finish.

Durability

The topiary balls themselves will have to stand up to bad weather and the better quality slightly more expensive balls do tend to fare better in the long term. Look for UV resistance as this will help them stand up to strong sunlight and fade less quickly. A good quality topiary ball can be left out in poor weather but some people prefer to bring them in when it is very windy as some small bits can come loose.

Size

There are a wide range of different topiary balls available and one thing to look for is whether the size is as you would expect it to be. Typically balls are 30 - 40cm - the 40cm balls are quite sizable and so you need to choose brackets that match the look.
