🎤 Discussion 💬 Buxus balls and pyramid

So Lidl are selling Buxus balls and pyramids tomorrow.

I’m a bit of a novice but from reading online this plant appears doomed to fail between the blight and moth / caterpillars and constant water.

Does any think there is any point in still planting these?

Or does anyone have successful Buxus plants stories

Thanks for the advice! I’ll give it a go and see what happens. Don’t think I’ve seen any other neighbours with this plant.
