Box
(Buxus Sempervirens)

Buxus Sempervirens is the perfect species for low hedges, borders and classic topiary with it's magnificently dense appearance.

The Buxus Sempervirens is quite a slow-growing hedge, however it is a very easy plant to manage and upkeep, as it is rather simple to trim and maintain the preferred shape- as well as being able to give you an excellent year-round interest. Quite a lot of people like to buy the Box hedging to create an impressive green privacy screen, which can easily be done if grown to height. As well as this, this hedging is accepted in both large traditional and urban gardens, with multiple possibilities for different shapes, heights, and usage.

It is a shade tolerant and native plant, making it suitable for a lot of sites (except from wet or windy), as well as being lenient on many soil types.

The dark and small evergreen leaves have an average growth rate of 10-15cm per annum. Besides this, the little undistinguished flowers that come through on Box hedging in summer, are very popular with bees, providing you with that little additional wildlife interest.

  • Growth rate: Slow (10-15cm per year)
  • Ideal Height: 2.5m+ High
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, Inland
  • Aspect: Full shade, Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

The Box hedging will only need a trim once/twice a year, and we recommend a well-rotted, or mulch, compost to keep your Box hedging in the best condition, along with the use of seaweed fertiliser and root grow as a feed in the spring. In terms of pruning, you can prune back young box plants by up to a third within their first year of growth (this is to encourage a dense, bushy new growth). If you already have a bushy hedge, then your Box can be pruned once/twice a year only, within May and August time.

When should I plant Box hedging?

The best time to plant your Box plants is near the end of autumn or beginning of spring.

How far apart do you plant Box plants?

Box plants will need to be planted quite close together - for smaller plants, 5 per metre is usually bet. You will also find it better if you plant the hedges in a trench, instead of digging holes, as this will give you much more even spacing. We recommend planting in 20cm intervals.

How to plant your Box hedging:

Dig a trench/individual holes to a spade's depth and the diameter must be 3 times the width of the root ball. The wide hole will influence the roots to spread outwards and effectively grow.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
