Boxwood is a very neat, slow-growing, evergreen shrub which is great for driveways, borders or vegetable gardens. It is great for pots and containers, large troughs placed on patios to create shelter, or even for pubs and restaurants. It can be purchased in large containers to give an instant hedge. Foliage is a glossy, green colour complimented by small, yellow flowers appearing in late spring.
Planting Instructions:
Plant 3 plants per metre, any time of year. Plant with Horkans Levington Compost, add some Sea Mungus for stronger growth. A little tip - sprinkle some RootGrow with the compost. A bag is sufficient for 25 plants. Make sure the area is clear of all grass and use Roundup to kill any weeds.

Suitable for Hedging/Screens, Low Maintenance Gardens, Banks and Slopes, Patios and Containers, Ground Cover or Garden Edging
