Buxus Plants

Buxus Plants, or shrubs, are also known as Boxwoods or just plain "Boxes". This evergreen shrub that is so often used for a border landscape component requires very little care and remains beautiful and well-shaped, sometimes with no pruning at all.

Buxus (pronounced BUCK-sus) are recognizable for their very dense leaves and their compact growth habit. Boxwoods are slow growing, only reaching about 3-feet tall at maturity. This slow growth makes pruning them to your desired shape an easy accomplishment, even for the beginner; in fact, especially for the budding landscape artist. We recommend feeding your Boxwood with Holly-tone® in the early spring, early summer, late summer and mid-fall, as they prefer an acidic environment. When putting new plantings in, use half the recommended dosage.

Blauer Heinz Buxus Plant

Price $10.00

The 'Blauer Heinz' Buxus Plant is a variety of "English Box" or boxwood that is extremely slow-growing and forms a particularly dense, round shrub, even without pruning. The blue-green foliage of this boxwood has a glaucous, or powdery, coating similar to what you might see on red grapes. It gives the deeply-colored foliage a silvery appearance, especially when in bright light, though the more shade, the bluer and deeper the color of the foliage. Use as a low hedge or as a specimen plant in a rock garden.

Green Gem Buxus Plant

Price $9.50

The 'Green Gem' Buxus Plant is a variety of boxwood that is very well-known for its evergreen broadleaf foliage, its naturally rounded shape, dark glossy leaves and its winter hardiness. Rich, emerald green foliage in the spring and summer may experience some bronzing in the winter. 'Green Gem' makes the perfect topiary sphere or can be used in its more natural form as a hedge-row or garden partition.
