Product information

    also known as Boxwood, is a versatile evergreen shrub appreciated for its dense, compact growth habit and small, glossy leaves. This popular plant is often used for creating formal hedges, sculpted topiaries, or as an ornamental shrub in garden borders. Buxus thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate both sun and partial shade, making it adaptable to various planting locations. With its slow to moderate growth rate, Buxus is a low-maintenance plant that provides year-round greenery and architectural interest to the garden. It is a hardy shrub, suitable for the UK climate.

    • Hedges, topiaries, borders in Sunny areas or partial shade
    • Moist & well drained Acidic to slightly alkaline Aerated soil
    • Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight or partial shade. Prepare the soil by adding organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil, firming it gently around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the establishment period.
    • After planting Buxus, provide regular watering during dry periods, especially in the first year. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size. Buxus is generally a low-maintenance plant, but it benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth.
