A Classic Touch in a Compact Sphere
Invite guests in with a festive flourish. This 12-inch kissing ball is hand-crafted from fresh, aromatic evergreens for a lush, full look that suits porches, entryways, hall arches, and cozy indoor nooks. Its tidy globe shape delivers big holiday impact without taking up much space—perfect where a wreath won’t fit or when you want a vertical accent with natural fragrance.
Easy Care for Fresh, Long-Lasting Greens
Hang in a cool spot out of direct sun and away from heat sources like fireplaces or vents. Lightly mist the foliage every day or two to maintain moisture, letting it air-dry before the next misting. In covered outdoor locations, cooler temperatures naturally extend freshness; indoors, check more often and avoid strong drafts.

FAQs
What is a kissing ball and where does it look best?
A kissing ball is a globe of fresh greenery designed to hang vertically. It’s ideal under archways and porch ceilings, in entry halls, or displayed on a pedestal or stand as a centerpiece when hanging isn’t practical.
Can I use it indoors and outdoors?
Yes. It works beautifully in both. For the longest life, hang it outdoors in a covered, cool spot. Indoors, choose a location away from direct sunlight and heat sources to slow drying.
How do I hang it securely?
Attach with a strong ribbon or chain to a ceiling hook, porch hook, or removable adhesive hook rated for several pounds. If wind is a concern outdoors, shorten the hanging length to limit movement.
How do I keep it fresh?
Mist the greens lightly every day or two and avoid hot, sunny locations. Cooler temperatures help preserve color and needles. If displayed over a table, allow foliage to dry after misting before use.
Can I decorate it further?
Absolutely. Tuck in small ornament picks, pinecones, or battery-powered micro-lights. Secure additions with floral wire so they stay in place without compressing the greenery.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
