Our Dwarf Box plants have been propagated from
our own stock plants and are raised in nursery beds
and sent out bare-rooted throughout the year.
This form of Box is ideal for creating a neat, easily
maintained, evergreen garden edging/low hedging
or knot garden/parterre design as well as being
suitable for topiary.
Please get in touch by ’phone or email if you
need any information that you cannot find here.

Box is a slow-growing, evergreen, native plant,
dense in habit with small dark green glossy foliage.
Dwarf Box is a slower growing cultivar valued as an
excellent formal edging/low hedging plant, as well as being suited to topiary as it responds very well to clipping.
For larger hedges (say, more than 18 inches/45cm) and
larger topiary designs, Buxus Sempervirens (known as Common Box) is a more popular choice.
These photographs are from our own garden.
The two photographs above (including our daughter) show
our dwarf box maze – easily maintained as a fun low hedge.
As our need for more cuttings – to supply more dwarf box plants for sale – has grown, the plants in the maze now also act as stock plants for propagation purposes. The photograph below shows the same maze some 10 years on, allowed to grow a bit bigger – looking a little shaggy, but ready for a good trim to provide cuttings material.
