 | Box (Buxus Sempervirens)
Box is the ideal plant for formal low hedges or pathway edging as well as being a classic topiary plant. It has very dense small round dark evergreen leaves. It is a slow growing plant with an average rate of growth of approx 10-15cm p.a. and it should be trimmed in late spring with hand shears if possible, keeping the blade of the shears parallel to the hedge surface. It is shade tolerant and is suitable for most soil types and sites other than wet or windy sites.
Prices shown are the price per plant. Planting distance is very much a matter of choice. For bare roots 5 plants per metre is fine and 7 makes a dense hedge quicker. Smaller plants are generally planted at higher density than taller plants. Pot grown plants have recommended densities shown but you can increase or reduce this density dependent on your level of patience.
