Product information

    Buxus sempervirens are some of the most useful evergreen shrubs and also one of the most recognisable. A stalwart of the cottage garden and stately homes, they have traditionally been used to create neat hedge borders and a range of shaped topiary. They are slow growing and rather compact which ensures that very little maintenance is needed in order for these hardy shrubs to continue to look fabulous. However when the time does come, they have the ability to withstand regular clippings and therefore maintain that wanted shape and glossy green colour all year round. These hardy architectural show stoppers thrive in any fertile, moist, well drained garden soil but are also perfect for use with a container and a soil based compost, growing well in sunny or semi shade conditions. Position: Sun or Partial ShadeHeight: Up to 8m when fully establishedSpread: Up to 8m when fully establishedSupplied in 9cm Nursery PotsDelivered with growing and care instructions Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply, but can vary due to seasonality changes and may not be the exact variety.

    • Beds, borders or containers in Sunny areas or partial shade
    • Moist, fertile & well drained Average garden soil
    • Planting period - December to AprilFlowering period - April to May
    • Grow Box plants in any fertile, moist, well drained garden soil, or plant in containers of soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Choose a position in sun or semi shade. On dry soils, Buxus sempervirens will prefer a semi shaded position. Improve poor, dry soils by incorporating plenty of well rotted manure prior to planting.
    • Water Box plants well until fully established. Box plants are relatively low maintenance but will require trimming once a year in mid Summer to maintain a neat shape. Choose an overcast day to avoid sun scorch. Feed and mulch Buxus sempervirens plants after pruning to promote healthy new growth.
