Description
Buxus sempervirens 'Bullata' is an unusual and attractive variety of evergreen box, recognised for its distinctive deeply textured, blistered leaves that give the plant a unique sculptural appearance. Unlike standard box varieties, the foliage of 'Bullata' has a slightly puckered surface, creating extra visual interest and texture in the garden.
This slow-growing, compact shrub forms a dense, rounded habit, making it ideal for low hedging, formal garden borders, and structural planting. Its rich dark green evergreen foliage provides year-round colour and structure, making it a valuable addition to both traditional and contemporary garden designs.
Buxus 'Bullata' is particularly suited to topiary, small hedges, and container planting, where its naturally tidy form can be easily maintained. Like other box plants, it responds well to clipping and shaping, allowing gardeners to create neat architectural forms.
Hardy and adaptable, Buxus thrives in sun or partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil types, provided the soil is well-drained.
