Boxwoods are grown for their small, neat, leathery leaves and dense long-lived growth habits. English Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) is a tough, bushy, rounded shrub with oval to oblong, glossy, dark green leaves. Best in USDA zones 5-8, English Boxwood remains a popular topiary or hedge plant because of its small evergreen leaves and tolerance for close shearing. English Boxwood Globe, if not pruned, will grow out of its round shape, and could grow up to 10 ft. tall and wide.
How big does an English Boxwood Globe grow?
It grows slowly, usually to about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Its naturally rounded form makes it ideal for formal gardens, edging, and containers.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Partial shade is best, especially in hot or dry climates. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil that stays consistently moist but never soggy. Afternoon sun can cause leaf scorch.
How often should I prune it?
Prune lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain the round shape. Avoid hard shearing or pruning during extreme heat or cold boxwoods are neat freaks, not thrill seekers.
Does it need special care or protection?
Protect from harsh winds and reflected heat from pavement or walls. Mulch to keep roots cool, and avoid over-fertilizing it’s a patient, slow grower that prefers moderation.
