Box Hedging (Buxus sempervirens) – 60/80cm

Timeless Evergreen Structure for Low, Formal Borders

Box hedging (Buxus sempervirens) is a classic, slow-growing evergreen ideal for formal gardens, parterres, and defined borders. Supplied here as a pot grown plant at 60/80cm in height, it’s perfect for establishing a dense, compact hedge with year-round structure and a polished, traditional look.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:
New, bright green growth emerges on existing dark green foliage, giving the hedge a fresh, vibrant appearance. Light trimming can begin to shape the plant.

Summer:
Box hedging holds its neat form well during summer. Foliage deepens in colour and maintains a dense, bushy texture. Regular trimming encourages thicker growth.

Autumn:
Foliage remains rich and green. Cooler weather may slow growth, but the structure stays strong and appealing. Minimal maintenance is required in this season.

Winter:
Being fully evergreen, Box continues to provide structure and interest through the colder months. It holds up well in low temperatures and continues to protect garden outlines.
