Boxwood - Commones
Boxwood - Commones The Boxwood, Common, Buxus sempervirens, forms a large shrub or small tree and most people know it as a small, densely-leaved, evergreen hedge. It is a densely branched, slow-growing shrub with numerous small, smooth-edged leaves. They are usually dark green and shiny, remaining on the shrub all winter. It prefers full sun to partial shade. For best results, mulch to keep root system cool and moist. Common Boxwood does well in alkaline soils; the evergreen foliage needs to be protected from drying winds in winter. Boxwoods can be sheared into just about any shape and respond well to harsh pruning. This shrub is ideal for formal hedges and topiary. It is a good border plant and an excellent choice for foundation plantings.
