Overview

If you are looking for a tough, adaptable and disease-resistant alternative to Buxus (box) topiary, then this could be just the ticket! This bushy shrub has already been clipped into a tight 18cm ball, so it's ideal for creating a formal look in pots, where it will offer year-round interest. Clipped topiary like this is also invaluable when woven through mixed borders, as it adds a structural element that acts as a foil for the more blousy seasonal froth.

Care guide

Plants grown as free-standing specimens require minimal pruning - remove damaged or misplaced branches in spring. Trim plants grown as formal hedges in late summer. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant.

Humans/Pets: Fruit are ornamental - not to be eaten

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
