Globe Common Boxwood
Buxus sempervirens
Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as common boxwood or European boxwood, is a popular evergreen shrub widely cultivated for its versatility and ornamental value. It is a slow-growing shrub that can reach a height of 10-15 feet and a width of 10-15 feet at maturity, although it is often maintained at smaller sizes through pruning. The small, glossy, dark green leaves of boxwood create a dense canopy and a formal appearance that make it ideal for use as a hedge, topiary, or specimen plant in formal gardens. Boxwood is also commonly used in knot gardens, parterres, and other formal garden designs. It prefers well-draining soil and partial to full sun exposure.
