Planting & Care

This adaptable evergreen hedge features tightly packed, small bright green leaves and blooms with tiny yellow flowers in the spring.
Native to the UK, this plant is exceptionally low-maintenance and thrives in conditions from full sun to full shade.
A robust, slow-growing shrub, Box is perfect for topiary, commonly shaped into balls and spirals or used for low formal garden hedges.
It also forms an excellent tall hedge, providing an effective and attractive windbreak.
Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', it is highly beneficial to bees and butterflies.
