Description:

Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as Boxwood, is a classic and versatile evergreen shrub known for its dense, compact growth and tidy appearance. When shaped into a ball, as in the case of a Boxwood Ball with a current size of 30 cm x 30 cm, it adds a formal and structured element to your garden or outdoor space.

At its current size, the Boxwood Ball has a neatly rounded shape and measures 30 cm in both height and spread. However, when fully mature, it can reach a height and spread of up to 1.2 meters, forming a substantial and well-defined ball-shaped shrub.

Boxwood is prized for its small, dark green leaves and its ability to maintain its foliage year-round, providing consistent visual interest. While it may not produce fragrant flowers, its evergreen nature and structured form contribute to its appeal.

Boxwood is generally hardy and can adapt to a variety of growing conditions. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

This formal and timeless shrub is an excellent choice for those looking to introduce structure and a touch of classic elegance to their garden or outdoor spaces. Its mature size and neatly shaped ball make it a standout feature in formal landscaping designs.
