What are the garden uses for Buxus Marginata?

Buxus Marginata is a much-loved shrub for many gardens. It can be clipped into a small hedge or used to create elaborate patterns as found in formal gardens. It is often used for topiary, added to mixed plantings, or maintained in a container. It is a great complement to a modern or cottage garden, bringing both colour and elegance to a space. It is the gorgeous foliage that makes this Buxus an excellent choice for a garden.

Buxus Marginata spacing for a hedge

The optimum plant spacing for a Buxus Marginata hedge is 25 cm between the plants for a 1.5L pot size. You can reduce the spacing to 20 cm between the plants if you want to achieve a dense and narrow hedge faster. If a 5L pot size or larger is purchased, the spacing can be increased to 35 apart as the plants have been manicured to be bushy already. Be sure to use a stringline to get the line straight and start lightly trimming the sides once the plants show active growth.
