What Makes Artificial Boxwood So Popular?
Boxwood foliage is horticulturally popular with many gardeners, landscapers and homeowners. However, artificial boxwood is ideal for designing an interior landscape, because of its maintenance. Artificial plants need a yearly dusting, but do not require watering or trimming.
Boxwood topiary balls add elegance and grace to artificial landscape designs.
Boxwood Shrubs and Bushes are popular because of their shaping, cutting and pruning abilities. Our artificial boxwood topiaries can be shaped to any form. For example, our artificial boxwood topiary animals are unique to each client request; our spiral boxwood topiary and boxwood topiary balls are popular in formal decor, and our boxwood privacy screens are a great visual screen to hide unsightly views. Boxwood topiaries and boxwood shrubs are ideal for themeing landscapes, and our common topiary forms include all sizes of boxwood spirals, boxwood hedges, boxwood balls, and boxwood bushes.

The Elephant in the Room is Silk Topiary
Boxwood topiary forms can be as large as you imagine!
As we grow older many things change, but our childhood fascination with animals often follows us into adulthood. The same giraffes, rhinos and other creatures that filled our coloring books and bedtime stories we now admire on Animal Planet and movies like March of the Penguins. As anyone with a pet knows, few things are more gratifying than having affection for an animal and getting it back in return, whether young or old.
Our fascination with animals is deeply ingrained in cultures worldwide, often reflected in works of art and architecture. Following this cue, plantscapers and commercial designers are wise to incorporate animal based themes and silk topiary animals into commercial spaces. Doing so can tug at heartstrings and provide memorable experiences.
When deciding whether to include an artificial animal in your commercial project, first make sure it fits your design objectives. For a full-fledged rainforest or jungle theme, silk topiary animals can bring a setting to life. Silk animals can also add an intriguing touch where least expected, such as a church or park.
Outdoor boxwood topiaries made with silk foliage can be as moving as live boxwood forms.
Next, pick the right silk. Boxwood topiary is a highly flexible material made to be bent, curved, and twisted, allowing for the precise molding of shapes and lines required to create an authentic looking animal. Boxwood can also be constructed into silk balls, silk obelisks, and other interesting shapes.
To make your topiary animal even more interactive, allow it to be strong and durable enough to bear weight.
