Alternative to box ball?
 
Am in southern Hampshire.

Un fortunately my 2 magnificent topiaried box balls succumbed to box blight! I have disposed of them and the soil, so a couple of questions:

What should I scrub the pots with (Lead light-weight look-alike)? And what similar sort of thing can I replace them with?

Many thanks.

You could try one of the small leaved myrtles like Luma chequen they
have been moved about a bit name wise !
