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

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

Box hedge plants are surprisingly tough, standing up to almost all soil types, shade and drought, these bushy hedging plants lend themselves to edging pathways, formal hedges and decorative knotted hedge gardens.





About our Box Hedging plants

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

For taller, bushier, bulkier plants we recommend our Box root ball plants (which are unusual in that root balled hedging plants usually are available during the winter season, Box hedging root balls are available year round). Pot grown and cell grown Box (Buxus sempervirens) hedge plants are available to buy all year round also.

At the bottom of this listing you will find our range of Box Topiary - we have balls, cones, spirals and cubes - all handsome 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. All Box topiary comes from specialist growers in Europe (ours comes from a hand-picked grower in Holland).

Topiary doesn't come cheap, (but you'll find our prices very competitive) you do have to bear in mind that most Box topiary is several years old - the larger standards will be 8 or 10 years old and will have been carefully trimmed several times, watered every day, fed regularly and re-potted when needed.

Don't forget to order Rootgrow and/or Bonemeal for your Box hedging plants.
