Description
This is the single ball standard topiary form of the Common Boxwood, Buxus sempervirens, a soft textured shrub that will grow in sun or part shade. The foliage is a glossy, deep green and rarely requires pruning. Whether growing in the ground or in containers, this refined topiary is excellent as a centerpiece or focal point specimen in small garden spaces or use two to frame an entryway.
Landscape & Gardens Uses
Growing to maybe 5 to 6 feet in height and 1.5 feet to 2 feet wide at the base, depending on pruning, the Common Boxwood standard topiary is a perfect choice to accentuate and frame entryways. It is also useful as a distinctive specimen or grouping in landscape borders and home foundation plantings, or to mark corners. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to topiary gardens, formal gardens, English gardens, and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
The Common Boxwood Standard Topiary is very easy to grow and requires minimal pruning to maintain its form. It will grow in a wide range of soils but prefers a moist, well-drained loam in full sun to part shade. When grown in containers, we suggest a 50/50 mix of potting soil and potting mix in a well draining pot. To avoid damage to new growth that can be stimulated by pruning, cease trimming two months prior to the average first-frost date in your area.
