    Product Details

    Classic Evergreen Structure

    Buxus sempervirens, the common box, is the quintessential evergreen for formal hedging, topiary, and year-round structure. This 5-litre potted specimen at 50-60cm offers an established plant ready to integrate into borders, parterres, or low hedging schemes.

    Key Features

    • Evergreen foliage: Dense, small-leaved growth provides consistent screening and structure throughout the year
    • Versatile use: Ideal for low hedging (30-90cm), edging, topiary, or specimen planting in containers
    • Slow, compact growth: Naturally dense habit requires minimal pruning to maintain shape
    • Hardy and adaptable: Thrives in sun or partial shade; tolerates most well-drained soils
    • Established rootball: 5-litre pot ensures strong root development for reliable establishment

    Planting & Care

    Plant in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Space 25-30cm apart for low hedging. Water regularly during the first growing season. Trim once or twice annually in late spring and late summer to maintain shape. Mulch with bark chips and feed with a balanced fertilizer or fish, blood & bone in early spring.

    Specification

    • Height: 50-60cm
    • Pot size: 5 litre
    • Growth rate: Slow to moderate (10-15cm per year)
    • Mature height: 1-4m (depending on pruning)
    • Hardiness: Fully hardy (RHS H6)

    Planting Tips

    💧 Watering – Essential for Success

    Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.

    Rootballed Plants

    Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.

    Potted Plants

    Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.

    Trees & Tall Plants

    When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
