Buxus sempervirens

Popular for its small, oval-shaped glossy dark green leaves and naturally dense growth, the Box hedge (Buxus sempervirens) is a year-round evergreen that keeps gardens looking lush in every season. In spring, this slow-growing species produces tiny yellow-green flowers with a subtle, honey-like fragrance that attracts pollinators like bees. Its naturally bushy structure makes Box one of the best choices for adding shape to any outdoor space.

As a versatile and low-maintenance choice, Box hedging is perfect for trimming into neat borders, low hedges, and even intricate topiary designs. Its slow growth rate of around 10-15cm per year means it requires minimal upkeep, only needing an occasional prune to keep its shape. Box hedge plants are pollution-tolerant, making them well-suited to urban environments like town or city gardens. They thrive in most well-drained soils, and although they prefer full sun or partial shade, they can also tolerate some dappled shade.

Our bare root and root ball Box hedge plants are available from November to late April/early May, while instant hedging and pot-grown varieties are ready to go all year round for quicker results.* Learn more about which suits you with our hedging root type guide.

Buxus is a well-loved hedging plant, but in certain areas of the UK, it can be extremely susceptible to Box Blight and Box Moth. If you’re looking for a similar low-maintenance, evergreen hedge, we recommend considering Japanese Holly (Ilex Crenata) or Euonymus 'Jean Hugues' as alternatives. 

*Bare-root and root-ball stock are subject to availability and may change, but are generally available from autumn through to spring.
