Buxus can be evergreen shrubs or small trees, with simple, leathery, opposite leaves and clusters of small, pale yellow flowers followed by pale green to brown fruits.

Additional Information

Site & Soil: Tolerant of a wide range of soil types, provided there is adequate drainage and it doesn't dry out completely. A reliably moist soil is especially important if growing in full sun, otherwise the foliage may scorch.

Hardiness: Hardy in all of UK and northern Europe.

Eventual Height & Spread: Usually grown and maintained as a shrub, but can eventually reach tree-like proportions up to about 9m tall.

Other: Box can be planted in large containers. It can then be clipped into topiary shapes, and positioned as a focal point in the garden, or placed either side of a path or doorway.
