Buxus Sempervirens

Boxwood Hedging

Dwarf evergreen hedger ideal for formal edging and hedging.

Slow growing and probably the country's best love dwarf hedger. Only need clipping once or twice a year. Use clean sharp shears and only cut when when it's a dry day, usually after the longest day.

They grow well in all soils as long as they are not water-logged.

Box hedging creates a timeless and elegant boundary with its dense, lush foliage, perfect for formal gardens and structured landscapes.

Buxus Sempervirens, also known as Boxwood, is an evergreen shrub celebrated for its dense, compact foliage and slow growth, which makes it easy to shape and maintain.

This style of hedging can be pruned into various shapes, including topiary balls, columns, cones, cubes, pyramids, spirals, and more. It combines structure and beauty, adding a high-end feel to both front and back gardens.

Where to Site Your Buxus Sempervirens

This versatile evergreen thrives in both full sun and partial shade and is adaptable to various soil types, including clay, though it should be planted in well-drained soil to avoid waterlogging. For optimal growth, choose a well-lit spot to promote healthy foliage and maintain its neat form. To simplify watering, consider using a soaker hose for consistent moisture.

Growth and Pruning

Ideal for small to medium-sized hedges, Buxus Sempervirens typically grows to 2-3 feet in height and up to 4 feet in width. Its slow growth rate, approximately 1 foot per year, requires regular pruning to keep its shape and density. Trim in late spring or early summer to remove weak or dead branches, and perform a second trim in late summer to maintain a tidy appearance.

Characteristics

  • Dense, compact growth with small, light green leaves that darken as they mature.
  • Retains a formal, well-structured look with minimal maintenance.
  • Adapts to various soil types but thrives in well-drained conditions.
  • Slow growth makes it ideal for defined borders or formal hedges.
  • Hardy and provides year-round interest.
  • Pot Grown (year-round purchase)
