Box Hedging / Buxus
Box or Buxus is a great candidate for low hedging and also widely used as an edging plant around flowerbeds and pathways. Naturally a large evergreen shrub growing up to 5 meters, Box is very hardy and responds well to clipping. The small, glossy, dark green leaves are up to 3cm (1¼ in) long. The dense habit of Box makes it ideal for hedging or screening and allows for close clipping into formal shapes for topiary. Large hedges are usually clipped no more than twice during the growing season, although low formal hedges in knot gardens may need monthly manicuring. If a box hedge becomes overgrown it can be cut to within a few inches of the ground from where it will rapidly sprout and develop into and orderly feature once more.
