Growing Guide

• Sun/Shade: Grows best in full sun or partial shade—adaptable to most UK conditions (hardy to RHS zone H6).
• Watering & Feeding: Water regularly after planting until established; feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring.

Planting & Care Tips

• When to Plant: Autumn and spring are ideal when the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
• Pruning: Trim once or twice yearly (late spring/late summer) to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.
• Pest Watch: Monitor for box blight and caterpillars—remove affected leaves promptly and ensure good air circulation.

Design Ideas & Companions

• Pair with lavender, rosemary, or yew for classic formal borders.
• Create geometric shapes or single topiary specimens for instant garden impact.

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant?
  The best time is autumn or spring when the soil is moist and temperatures are mild.
• How fast do these box hedging plants grow?
  Buxus grows slowly—expect up to 10cm per year with good care, reaching about 1m after ten years if left untrimmed.
• What maintenance do they need?
  A light trim once or twice a year keeps hedges neat. Water during dry spells and mulch annually to retain moisture.
