Buxus Winter Gem plant spacing for a hedge

The optimum plant spacing for a Buxus Winter Gem hedge is 20 cm between the plants for a 1.5L pot size. You can reduce the spacing to 15 cm between plants if you want to achieve a dense and narrow hedge more quickly. If a 5L pot size or larger is purchased, the spacing can be increased to 30 apart, as the plants have been manicured to be bushy already. Be sure to use a string line to ensure the line is straight, and start lightly trimming the sides once the plants show active growth.

Buxus Winter Gem care

Buxus Winter Gem thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Regular trimming maintains its tidy shape, and watering during dry spells keeps it healthy. Mulching helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

What size does Buxus Winter Gem grow to?

Buxus Winter Gem grows to about 1.5 m tall and the same wide as a general rule. It tends to grow taller in partial shade conditions compared to when grown in full sun. Similarly, the size also depends on the level of trimming and how well the plant is cared for, including fertiliser and watering during dry periods.
