Key features

Buxus sempervirens (Common Box)

Grown for many years in the UK as a formal garden design favourite, Buxus sempervirens is famed for its dense framework of small leaves that respond well to shaping.

Left untrimmed, plants can grow taller than 4m and will form a substantial all-year presence in borders or as freestanding plants.

Box copes well with shady positions and exposed locations where other plants might not grow. Clipping schedules will typically determine its final appearance.
