Why Choose Mature Box Hedges?

Mature box hedges for sale provide an immediate result that’s perfect for keen gardeners and landscape designers wanting a sophisticated, finished look. Rather than starting from tiny seedlings, these advanced plants already boast dense foliage and strong root systems, ensuring a robust, healthy hedge from day one. Box hedges are famed for their versatility: they thrive in a range of New Zealand climates, respond well to shaping, and retain their green colour all year round. Their slow-to-moderate growth rate keeps maintenance simple, requiring only occasional trimming to maintain sharp lines and classic shapes.

Our Range of Mature Box Hedges

We specialise in a carefully selected collection of mature box hedges for sale, ideal for both formal and contemporary garden styles. Explore options suited to NZ gardens, from the traditional Buxus sempervirens (Boxwood)—the go-to variety for classic hedging—to unique cultivars with added character. For a touch of variegation, consider Buxus sempervirens 'Silver Beauty' (Silver Boxwood), which features delicate, cream-edged leaves. If you prefer a hardy, compact variety, Buxus microphylla 'Japonica' (Japanese Box) is renowned for its resilience and vibrant green foliage. For subtle contrast, look to Buxus sempervirens 'variegata'.

Expert Planting and Care Advice

Choosing mature box hedges for sale is just the beginning—our nursery team is ready with local growing tips and care advice. Boxwoods are adaptable and thrive best in well-drained soil with some protection from harsh afternoon sun. They’re tolerant of pruning, which means you can shape them to your preference, from low borders to tall, dense screens. Regular watering and occasional feeding will keep your mature hedges looking lush year-round. If you appreciate the look and scent of box hedging, consider companions like Sarcococca confusa (Sweet Box) for fragrant winter interest.
