Buxus Sempervirens is the perfect species for low hedges, borders and classic topiary with it's magnificently dense appearance.
Root Ball Box is fit to plant in November - March, only.
As it is slow-growing, Box hedging is quite easy to trim and maintain to a desired shape. Being an evergreen, it can provide excellent year-round interest, too, as well as being able to create an impressive privacy screen when grown to height.
It's the perfect, all-round hedge, with its ability to be used in many ways and grow in multiple shapes and heights. Box is a must-have for any gardener!
The dark, evergreen foliage will grow about 10-15cm per year, along with little, insignificant flowers in Summer- which are very popular amongst the bee family, adding a lovely bit of wildlife interest to your garden, too!
When you receive your Buxus Sempervirens Root Ball plant, it will need to be planted within a couple of weeks or so and must be well-watered during this time. Do not allow the soil to dry out- this will more than likely damage the roots altogether.
You should only need to trim your Box hedging once/twice a year, along with adding some well-rotted compost or mulch, to keep the hedging in its best condition. A fertiliser/root grow feed is also recommended (in Spring). You can prune back young Box plants by up to one third within their first year (this will encourage a dense, bushy new growth).
From there on, when the plant is well-established, only prune once/twice a year within May-August.

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 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.
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.
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.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
