Common Name:

Availabilty: In Stock

Buxus Harlandii is a gorgeous low-growing evergreen shrub with deep green cheery and fragrant foliage, that bears small and scented green flowers in the spring. Very popular in English gardens due to its' tight growth habit, scented foliage, small elongated leaves and tolerance of close shearing.

Growing up to 500 mm tall, it is ideal for clipping as a small formal hedge, the compact growth habit remaining thick and robust with regular trimming. Also attractive when shaped as a low topiary container shrub, having a shallow root system. Perfect for formalising gardens, ornamental planting and traditional landscaping; and although it is not a fast grower, the slower growth habit renders it low maintenance and it is hardy in addition.

Hardy, low maintenance. Frost and wind tolerant.  Hardy to most soils though prefers well drained soil bases; mulch in warmer months. Full sun or part shade.
