Buxus sempervirens Elegantissima spacing for a hedge

The optimum plant spacing for a Buxus sempervirens Elegantissima 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.
