The finest option for topiary in our opinion, and found in the gardens of most stately homes.
Taxus has a dense leaf structure like Buxus, and has a soft feel and is very easily clipped to size and shape.
We believe it to be the best alternative to the much loved Buxus which is no longer viable in much of the UK due to box blight.

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
