topiary buxus balls
Topiary buxus balls are the perfect solution for adding formal elegance, vibrant greenery, and easy-care structure to your New Zealand garden. Crafted from various Buxus cultivars, these striking spheres provide year-round appeal, whether flanking pathways, marking entrances, or structuring a courtyard. Due to their slow growth and dense, evergreen foliage, buxus balls are highly prized for their ability to maintain their shape and deliver classic garden sophistication with minimal maintenance.
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.
