Buxus Ball - Buxus sempervirensThere's a reason box topiary has been used in gardens for hundreds of years. A Buxus ball gives you instant, year-round structure without demanding much back. The dense, fine-leaved foliage holds a clipped shape well, looks good in every season, and works in almost any setting - formal or relaxed, contemporary or classic. A pair flanking a doorway never goes out of style. Native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa, Buxus sempervirens is slow-growing, fully evergreen, and very hardy. The ball form is achieved through careful, patient clipping over years - the plant you're buying represents real time and skill from the grower. Grow in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil or compost. Clip once a year in summer to maintain the shape - late May to July is ideal. Feed regularly through the growing season; box is a hungry plant. Decorative pot not included.
