Korean Box

Also known as Korea Box, Korean Box is a small dense evergreen shrub similar to Dutch Box but slightly taller and perhaps more tolerant to areas that have warmer drier summers. It is suitable for a full sun to part shade position and is frost tolerant. Plant 20cm apart for hedging 30cm high in approximately 3 years.

Buxus plants are a favourite for traditional gardens, as they are perfect for formal evergreen hedges. Featuring small glossy green leaves on a compact dense shrub, this makes them perfect for clipping or topiary. Most Buxus are relatively slow growing, and shade tolerant, making them ideal for formal hedging.

** Immature Buxus plants can change colour and take on Autumn tonings during a very cold Winter. This is quite normal and often relates to very cold nights with bright sunny days, with cold winds also known to cause this bronzing. Top dressing in Autumn with Dolomite lime and fetilising before the weather cools too much can help shield them from this. Fertilise with an all purpose fertilizer in early Spring as the weather begins to warm and plants will soon revert to their normal dark green foliage colour.
