Plant InformationBuxus Sempervirens Elegantissima, commonly known as Box Elegantissima is a bushy evergreen shrub with small, glossy, dark green leaves all narrowly margined with a creamy white colour. The Buxus plants are native to Britain and a common choice for topiary and dense hedging, the Elegantissima offers the unique addition of its brighter margined foliage.
This Buxus is regularly planted as low growing topiary or hedging, planted on banks, slopes and edges of flower beds and borders.
Buxus Sempervirens Elegantissima care
Plant in a full or partially shaded location in moist, well drained soils where it will thrive. The box shrub requires none, to minimal pruning, prune back in June time any shoots you don’t want and prune to shape the Buxus Sempervirens Elegantissima plant into the shape and design you want. Some gardeners will leave their Buxus to grow naturally and not prune altogether, making it a specimen garden shrub.
