EXACTLY what I needed!  I have a black iron urn at my front door and can never keep anything alive in it.  The urn gets VERY hot and it fries the roots.  This boxwood is very "real" looking and the size of the ball is perfect for my urn.  The urn is deeper than the pot, so I filled the space with cardboard to keep it elevated.  Time will tell if it keeps its color.  Although under a porch, the area gets afternoon sun for several months of the year.  I am completely satisfied thus far!
