border buxus
Looking for the perfect formal edge or neat, evergreen definition in your garden? Border buxus, commonly known as box hedging, is a timeless choice for creating stylish garden pathways, borders, and parterres. This versatile shrub brings structure, elegance, and year-round colour to any outdoor space, making it a favourite amongst New Zealand gardeners. Border buxus is renowned for its dense growth, small glossy leaves, and its tolerance of frequent trimming, which allows you to keep it clipped into crisp lines or more relaxed shapes depending on your garden style.
Buxus sempervirens 'variegata'
Buxus sempervirens 'variegata' features small, mid-green leaves with cream-white edges on new growth, which age to become a darker green. It grows to about 1 m tall and the same wide, though it is often kept smaller with trimming, which encourages new growth. This variegated Box plant is ideal for topiary, trimming into a formal hedge, maintaining in a container, or including in a mixed planting. For a box hedge, space plants 30 cm apart.
