Box Hedging and Topiary (Buxus sempervirens)

Click here for a chart of species characteristics to help you choose

The Box hedge plant (Buxus semprevirens) is the most popular species for luxury low hedging - from 50cm up to 1.5m and for topiary.

Box hedging plants have very small leaves so it's easy to clip to a formal neat shape and because it's slow growing, you don't have to clip it too often - once a year is adequate - or twice if you're really neat!

From November to early April (sometimes late March), we have Box hedges available as bare root hedging plants which makes it a very economic way to establish a new hedge.

For tall, bushier, bulkier plants we recommend root ball plants (available from late October until early April) and again we are taking pre orders now for October delivery and pre ordering is essential.

Pot grown and cell grown Box (Buxus sempervirens) hedge plants are available to buy all year round.

We offer some discounted packs of various quantities of Box (Buxus sempervirens) but if these aren't exactly right for your requirements please phone us for a free quote.

At the bottom of this listing you will find our range of Box Topiary - we have balls, cones, spirals and cubes - all beautiful quality plants. These plants are grown in fields and then potted up before being sold. Being field grown they are easier to water and feed and the roots can spread so that a very strong plant develops. We do not grow these plants ourselves because there are specialists in Europe (ours come from a hand picked grower in Holland).

Topiary is expensive but you have to bear in mind that it is several years old - the larger standards will be 8 or 10 years old and will have been trimmed several times, watered every day, fed regularly and re-potted when needed.

Don't forget to order RootGrow and/or Bonemeal.
