Common Box (Buxus sempervirens) Pallet 9 Troughs
Common Box (Buxus sempervirens), also referred to as Boxwood, is an evergreen shrub that has long been a cornerstone of British garden design.
This trough pallet of 9 offers an efficient solution for large-scale landscaping projects, providing instant and cohesive hedging. Buxus sempervirens is admired for its dense, dark green foliage, which retains its lush appearance year-round, making it ideal for creating formal hedges, border edgings, and intricate topiary shapes. Its slow growth rate is a significant advantage, allowing for easy maintenance and precise trimming into a variety of forms.
This hardy plant thrives in a range of soil types, including thin chalky soils, and is tolerant of shaded areas, though it should be sheltered from very wet conditions and cold winds. When regularly trimmed, Buxus sempervirens remains compact and neat, but if left to grow naturally, it can reach heights of 2 to 3 meters, or even taller over many years. Buxus sempervirens is particularly suited for use in formal garden features like Knot Gardens, Parterres, and Potager gardens, where its timeless appeal enhances the overall design. To ensure the best results, trim with sharp hand shears on a dry day, and plant with proper spacing to promote air circulation and maintain plant health.
The Royal Horticultural Society awarded Buxus sempervirens the Award of Garden Merit in 1984, underscoring its value and reliability in garden and landscape design.
