This is a great choice for someone wanting an instant look, these buxus plants are already grown. They are clipped in 50cm lengths.
Buxus sempervirens, is a bushy evergreen shrub with lush green foliage, making this a must for hedging in a formal garden. Very hardy and very forgiving. For a tight hedge, plant at 20cm spacing. Can be kept as low as 30cm in height, but will get to 1m tall if kept untrimmed.
The image of the plant in the container is an example of the instant hedging grade - they look incredible and are a great way to create an instant visual.
Trimming: Trim regularly to maintain the desired shape and size. Prune in late spring or early summer, avoiding heavy pruning during late summer or autumn to prevent frost damage to new growth.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers that can lead to excessive soft growth, which is more susceptible to pests and diseases.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and during prolonged dry spells. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Pest Control: Monitor for common pests such as boxwood leafminer, boxwood mite, and boxwood psyllid. Use appropriate insecticides or horticultural oil if infestations are detected.
Disease Management: Be vigilant for signs of box blight and root rot. Box blight appears as dark or brown spots on leaves and stems and can be treated with fungicides. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Improve soil drainage and remove affected plants if root rot occurs.
