Buxus sempervirens
Where would we be without Buxus sempervirens? This plant more than any other typifies changes in garden styles throughout history.
If left to its own devices box forms a small tree or large shrub but its response to clipping has made it the plant of choice for plant sculptors worldwide, to varying degrees of taste!
This is a plant grown for foliage only. It is tolerant of a wide range of conditions but if grown in full sun make certain it has a good moisture retentive soil. If it dries out too much the leaves will bronze and the plant will not grow, the fate of all too many pot grown plants.
