English Box – 14cm Pot

Buxus Sempervirens

A sturdy, evergreen, slow-growing shrub with dark green oval-shaped leaves. Used in traditional garden landscape designs, topiary and as a feature plant for many centuries. Low to moderate water requirements, during Summer plants will benefit from deep soaking. Buxus English Box can be grown in frost-prone areas, tolerate coastal conditions but can suffer from a salt burn. During winter foliage can be subject to turning a copper colour, the application of Garden Lime around the base of the plant will counteract this and the plant will revert to a green colour in Spring.
