How big - Dwarf Yaupon Holly, 'Nana'

I just purchased some Dwarf Yaupon Holly, "Nana" shrubs and according to the information on the pot, they're supposed to get 2' high and 4' wide. I would prefer to leave them natural and not have to prune them since they have a natural round form, but I'm flexible on that. They will be flanked on each side with a boxwood, "Green Beauty" which is supposed to get 4-6' tall and I don't want the Holly to get so big that it over powers the boxwood in appearance. If they grow as the pot states, I'm fine, but I live in the San Joaquin Valley and they will get direct sun on the west side of my home.

If you have these shrubs in your garden, what has been your experience with how large they get? How far apart should I plant them and how far away from my foundation? Thank you in advance
