Box topiary spiral

Description of Buxus topiary spirals

Our Buxus topiary spirals have been carefully trained by skilled nurserymen to provide you with stunning topiary shapes to create a statement garden feature or to decorate pathways, archways or entrances. Box topiary spirals are also great for small gardens as they make the most of your vertical space. We have more sizes available so if you can't find what you're looking for, please give us a call.

How to use Box topiary spirals

Use Box topiary spirals either side of your front door to give the neighbours something to be jealous of or punctuate your hedges with topiary spirals to add architectural height. Buxus topiary is also perfect to plant at intervals along a garden path for a wonderful, dramatic feature.

Box topiary spirals look fantastic planted alone, either in a garden border or in a container to decorate patios and balconies.

Growth rate of Boxwood topiary plants

Box has a slow growth rate, achieving 10-15cm a year so is easily maintained at your final, desired height. 

How to care for Buxus topiary trees

For the perfect, show-garden finish, we advise trimming your Box topiary shapes little and often but if you don't mind if your topiary spirals aren't immaculate all year round, pruning once or twice a year will still maintain a neat shape. Visit the Best4Hedging Advice section for more information on Care and Planting.

Planting density guidelines for topiary trees

It is completely up to you how many topiary trees you wish to plant. There are endless options for planting topiary, you can keep them in large containers or plant them into the ground either close together or spaced out. Read our blog on the top 5 ways to use topiary for more inspiration.

We offer Box topiary all year round. If you can't find the size you are looking for, please give us a call as we do have more sizes available.

The vast majority of our Box topiary plants are grown in the UK by professionals with years of horticultural experience, though sometimes we may source them from specialised nurseries abroad, where we can guarantee the quality of the plants matches those on our UK sites. At Best4hedging we constantly strive to deliver you the freshest, highest quality plants whilst maintaining our low prices, so you can source Buxus sempervirens topiary shapes from us with complete confidence.

Delivery Cost

Free Delivery - The majority of orders over the minimum order values shown below are delivered FREE to UK Mainland.
(Exceptions apply - see Delivery Areas)

Pallet Deliveries

Some plants are too heavy or too tall to be packed in cardboard box, in which case we use pallet deliveries. In these circumstances, we require a minimum order value of £170 (ex VAT) for free delivery, or you can make a contribution towards the delivery cost. Look out for the information on product pages which explains this further where applicable and if your order is for less than £170 (ex VAT) please call us on 01257 494 491 or email us to agree upon a delivery contribution. This requirement only applies to those plants where it is clearly indicated on the product page.

Pallet deliveries are always undertaken on an 18-tonne vehicle (similar in size to a standard refuse vehicle). If for any reason you require a smaller vehicle please contact our sales team who can arrange this for you. There will be an additional surcharge applied for small vehicle deliveries

Delivery Timescales

99% of our orders are dispatched within 7 to 10 days of receipt and most the day after the order is placed. We can do “next day delivery” on many of our products for an additional £12 (incl VAT) but please call on 01257 494 491 before placing your order to check.

We can also deliver on a specified date to suit you. Please indicate the date you would like to receive delivery in the notes section of the checkout (or place your order by phone) and we’ll do our utmost to meet that date.

Occasional hiccups can occur (such as broken down vehicles) and although we are very experienced in logistics we cannot be held liable for costs incurred or inconvenience due to late deliveries - see terms and conditions for more information.

You will receive an email or telephone call confirming the dispatch of your order 24/48 hours before it arrives with you.

Exceptions to our quick turnaround timescale

Pre-orders - if you have placed an order that includes products on pre-order, then they will be dispatched to you as soon as they are available. If your order includes pre-order bare roots or root balls you will be notified once they are being dispatched (root balls from mid to late October and bare roots from early to mid-November).

Root Balls - lifting root balls involves the use of complex, heavy machinery, this lifting is carried out twice a week in the root ball season so we do still have a prompt turnaround timescale but if your order has just missed one lifting, it will be a few days before we lift again. We are always happy to confirm when we can deliver to you before you order. The benefit of this method of supplying root balls is that they are always fresh and therefore have a higher success rate than root balls that are stored out of the soil.

Weather conditions can affect dispatch - bare root and root ball plants are not lifted if the ground is too cold (it damages the roots) and the delivery of all plants can be affected if the water supply is frozen (because we water all plants before packing). Extremely hot weather can also be challenging, and occasionally we hold backorders for species that are particularly vulnerable. We ask our customers to be mindful of bank holidays when couriers are not active.

We'd like to stress that although there are exceptions, the vast majority of our orders are dispatched extremely quickly and we are proud of our logistics developed over many years of delivering plants to tens of thousands of customers.

Returns

We inspect plants carefully before dispatch but accept that very occasionally things may go wrong. You can return your plants (within 14 days) for a refund or replacement (we’ll help with the process of returning). If your plants arrived damaged then returns are free of charge. However, we ask that you inform us as soon as possible. If you’d like to return your plants because of a change of plan or if we do not agree that the plants are significantly damaged (the loss of a few leaves in transit or a loose pot on arrival, for example, wouldn't be harmful to the plants), then we may ask you to pay the full or partial return costs if you still wanted to return them. We’re very reasonable and always aim for complete satisfaction as demonstrated by our amazing Feefo customer reviews which can be viewed here.

Should you wish to return any products that you have over-bought, no longer require or purchased in error you will incur both a return cost (different charges for pallets and Boxes) and the original cost of delivery incurred by best4hedging. Please contact the Service team for charges and/or to organise a return. Plants will be subject to a quality control check from our Nursery upon return before any refund is authorised and processed.

Please note that in the case of damaged plants, if you have not notified us of a problem within 14 days of delivery, we consider you to have accepted the plants and best4hedging has no further liability for them should they fail. You can read more about our returns policy in our terms and conditions here.
