To complete my previous post and answer your questions about the differences between varieties of boxwood that I have presented here some pictures. They are not very explicit, so I have them along with some comments.
This is the Buxus suffruticosa
The balls were formed almost naturally. It requires virtually no size, so the growth is slow. This is my favorite. 
The leaves are small, bright green. The foliage is dense.
By removing the foliage, we see the branches very fine, highly branched from the base.
And here is the common boxwood, thicker foliage and a darker green.
The branches are larger and stiffer too. Used in topiary, it is much less elegant than its predecessor. It is that which is found mostly in the garden because it grows very fast.
