Common Box (Buxus sempervirens)
Common Box (Buxus sempervirens) Readybag Pallet, also known as Boxwood, is a British native plant that brings immediate elegance and structure to any garden with its instant hedging capability.
Supplied in a pallet of 5 readybags, this evergreen shrub is prized for its luxuriant, dark green foliage, which remains vibrant throughout the year. Buxus sempervirens is exceptionally versatile, thriving in a range of soil types, including thin chalky soils, and is highly tolerant of shade.
While it grows slowly, this characteristic makes it easy to manage, allowing for precise shaping into dense hedges or intricate geometric forms. Regular trimming encourages a compact and neat appearance, though if left to grow freely, it can reach heights of 2 to 3 meters, with potential growth up to 5 to 7 meters over time. Ideal for formal garden designs, Buxus sempervirens is a popular choice for Knot Gardens, Parterres, and Potager gardens, where its classic form complements both large and small landscapes.
For optimal health, trim with sharp hand shears on dry, breezy days, and plant with adequate spacing to allow for air circulation. Recognized for its garden worthiness, Buxus sempervirens received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 1984, making it a trusted and reliable choice for both professional landscapers and garden enthusiasts.
A Pallet of Buxus sempervirens includes fertiliser and irrigation.
