A fantastic shrub for adding interest to any garden space, Buxus sempervirens boasts dense, small foliage, making it ideal for shaping into topiary. Renowned for its resilience to regular clipping, these Box plants offer year-round, low-maintenance structure to the garden. While Buxus sempervirens is slow-growing and can take years to form a topiary shape, this plant arrives established, neatly clipped into a ball, ready for instant impact.
Supplied complete with patio containers, they provide easy, year-round interest on your patio. Plant Box in any fertile, moist, well-drained garden soil, or use soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3 in containers. Choose a sunny or semi-shaded spot; in drier soils, semi-shade is preferable. Enhance poor, dry soils by incorporating well-rotted manure before planting. Water well until established.
Box plants are relatively low maintenance but benefit from annual trimming in mid-summer to maintain their shape. Choose an overcast day to avoid sun scorch. Feed and mulch after pruning to encourage healthy new growth.
Caution: Irritant to skin and eyes.
Position: Full Sun/Partial Shade.
Height: Up to 3m when fully established.
Spread: Up to 3m when fully established.
