Get faux boxwood plants to create a non maintenance, no work option for outdoor planters. They make any pot or container look elegant and the best thing is there is no work and they look great all year long.
After searching for a low-maintenance way to add greenery to my home, I decided to purchase faux Boxwoods from from Amazon to put in an outdoor planter. I love plants but maintaining them is so time consuming and I just needed something on my front porch to brighten it up, even in the winter.
These artificial boxwood plants includes 20 bundles in the box. I as immediately impressed by their realistic appearance. Yes, they have a slightly plastic look when you take them out of the box, but once you put them together and arrange them in a pot you can almost swear they were real. The vibrant green color and lifelike texture made them a perfect addition to my front porch.
Each bundle is individually packaged. They are super affordable too. The entire set of 20 bundles is around $27 and they offer sales too. I have seen them as low as $20. Twenty bundles is enough to fill a large planter.

Take a look and see what you think. They look perfect in this pot. I put the pot in a wood planter my husband built and I’m obsessed with the results. You literally cannot tell they aren’t real and the best part is I have zero work to maintain them.
Each bundle is easy to shape and position, giving me the flexibility to design the layout I envisioned. The stems are wired so they are easy to shape and fill in empty spaces.
Their durability makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, whether it’s for inside my home, outside on the front porch, and some day when I can afford a sunroom, they will look great there as well. I can see these faux boxwood plants even being used at an event or wedding.
Here is another way to display them, in a long planter.

Unlike real plants, there’s no need for watering or pruning, which saves time and effort while still achieving a lush, green environment. They can also be used to create a wreath for the door so lots of options for such an affordable price.
