Buxus sempervirens ‘Silver Beauty’ is a rounded variety of the commonly known, Box Hedge, and is grown for its variegated foliage and dense growth habit. The small leaves are dark green with irregular, cream-silver margins, and held densely on short stems. Left untrimmed it will eventually grow to 1 m tall and 1.2 m wide but is often trimmed to much smaller sizes. This evergreen shrub performs best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It is tolerant of most soil types, except at the extremes of wet and dry, frost, cool climates, and coastal conditions. In NZ Buxus ‘Silver Beauty’ is commonly trimmed into a small hedge, used for topiary, or maintained in a container. Space plants 20 cm apart for a box hedge.
