Description

Common Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) is a classic evergreen shrub prized for its dense foliage, compact growth habit, and exceptional ability to withstand pruning. Widely used for formal hedges, foundation plantings, topiary, and landscape borders, Common Boxwood provides year-round color and structure in gardens and landscapes. These slow-growing plants are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of garden settings.

Seeds require a period of cold moist stratification to improve germination. Sow seeds in a well-drained seed-starting mix and maintain consistent moisture during the germination process. Young seedlings benefit from partial shade and protection from extreme temperatures during establishment.
