Box - Buxus Sempervirens - Hedging Plants

Box plants are perfect for seaside gardens as they are, low growing and easy to maintain and can tolerate the salt, windy conditions by the sea.  Box is a good evergreen shrub that is so easy to maintain it just cannot be missed. Buxus has been used for many years for formal hedging, and as topiary plants.  Buxus sempervirens is slow growing, about 6 inches per year, but it makes one of the more perfect plants for hedging.
