The Buxus sempervirens is a slow-growing evergreen shrub, widely used in formal gardens and topiary. Its pyramidal shape is achieved through regular pruning, giving it a compact, dense, and elegant look. It features small, oval, glossy dark green leaves that stay all year round, making it ideal for low hedges, borders, and decorative pots. Its resilience and versatility for shaping make it one of the most classic ornamental plants for both traditional and contemporary gardens.

CUIDADOS
Light: Adapts to full sun or partial shade. In very hot climates, it benefits from some protection during peak sun hours.
Temperature: Hardiness to cold and frost, resisting down to about –15 °C. Prefers temperate climates.
Watering: Moderate. Keep the soil slightly moist, especially for potted plants. Avoid waterlogging, as the roots are sensitive to overwatering.
Humidity: Prefers fresh, well-drained soils. Doesn’t like overly dry environments for long periods.
Fertilisation: Apply a slow-release shrub fertiliser in early spring and again in summer to stimulate growth and keep foliage dense and green.
Pruning: Essential to maintain the pyramidal shape. Prune 2 to 3 times a year between spring and early autumn, avoiding the hottest periods.
Life cycle: Perennial.
Soil: Fertile, fresh, calcareous, or sandy-clay substrate, always well-drained. Tolerates different soil types as long as they aren’t too acidic or waterlogged.
Not Pet Friendly: Although only mildly toxic, ingesting leaves can cause gastrointestinal upset in pets.
Fun Fact: Boxwood has been cultivated in Europe for centuries and was highly valued in Renaissance and Baroque gardens for creating mazes and geometric shapes. Its wood is extremely dense and was traditionally used for fine carvings and musical instruments.
