Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as English Box, is a classic evergreen shrub favoured for its lush, dark green foliage and versatility in shaping. With its dense, slow-growing habit, this species is ideal for formal hedging, topiary, and structured planting. It responds well to regular trimming and provides year-round structure and greenery.
Well suited to formal, Mediterranean, and traditional garden designs, it is often used to define borders, pathways, or create feature shapes.
Plant in full sun to part shade, in well-drained soil with moderate moisture. For hedging, space 30–40 cm apart to achieve a dense, uniform effect.
Mature size: Reaches approximately 1.5 metres high and wide if left untrimmed, forming a dense, rounded shrub.

Myosotidium hortensia, commonly known as the Chatham Island Forget-me-not, is a perennial found naturally on the Chatham Islands. It has stunningly large, glossy, emerald-green leaves and produces clusters of deep blue flowers. These flowers emerge in late spring, forming a mesmerising contrast against its vibrant foliage. With a broad, clump-forming habit, this plant can serve as an incredible focal point in gardens, particularly in coastal and woodland settings.
Growing to a height and spread of about 0.5m to 1m, the Chatham Island Forget-me-not thrives in a sheltered spot with dappled light. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil, and while it's relatively low-maintenance, it appreciates regular watering in dry conditions.
Clusters of nicely shaped pure white flowers. Lovely for flower arrangements. Fragrant. Sits upon an 80cm clear stem, will reach 1.25m once established.
