Boxwood: The Versatile, Low-Maintenance Evergreen Shrub

Boxwood, a versatile evergreen shrub, is gaining attention among gardeners for its adaptability and low maintenance. This plant, known for its dense foliage, responds well to pruning, allowing for intricate topiary designs. It stays attractive year-round, requiring minimal care.

Boxwood's thick, compact crown grows up to one and a half meters tall, making it suitable for hedges of varying density and form. Its dense, evergreen foliage is perfect for creating living hedges and decorative shaped pruning.

To keep boxwood thriving, regular watering to maintain optimal soil moisture is essential. A dose of organic fertilizer in early spring helps it regain its rich emerald hue after winter. This, along with minimal pruning, is all that's needed to keep it looking its best year-round.

Boxwood's weather-resistant nature and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice for those seeking a decorative, living hedge. Its ability to grow up to one and a half meters tall, along with its responsiveness to pruning, allows for a wide range of design possibilities. With regular watering and a spring fertilizer boost, boxwood can maintain its attractive, evergreen foliage throughout the year.
