Buxus semp Ball 40-45cm

Buxus sempervirens clipped into a neat spherical form provides year-round structure and crisp lines for entrances, containers, parterres and formal borders. This reliable evergreen thrives in sun or shade and is well-suited to most well-drained, moderately fertile soils including chalk, clay and sand. Dense, small, glossy green leaves respond well to regular light clipping to maintain the tight ball shape, making it a classic choice for formal and architectural planting schemes.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
