Buxus Sempervirens Suffruticosa
Dutch Box Hedges have a rounded leaf of dark green, not dissimilar to English Box colour and are dense growing. Their new foliage is a lime green colour but darkens when hardened off. Dutch Box grow in a natural ball shape with branching out from the base so are very suited to topiary balls or rounded hedges. They like shaded areas but will grow in full sunlight. Prefer damper soil and cooler climates. Good as stand alone in ground or in pots as topiary or hedging. Annual clipping is required to create a dense hedge and to strengthen the branches.
