Buxus sempervirens (common box – mini standard) £49.99
Position: partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Hardiness: fully hardy These mini-standards look great in pots where they can be used in pairs to flank a doorway or entrance, or as a single specimen that will act as a focal point on the patio. When planted in the border, they will add structure to plants with a softer, billowing silhouette. The heads of these great little plants have been tightly clipped into a ball, and this sits on top of a 30cm high clear stem. A classic as well as versatile addition to the garden. Garden care: Ensure that the soil or compost is never allowed to dry out. Carefully cut back plants grown as hedges or topiary in mid- or late summer. Carry out rejuvenative pruning in late spring. After pruning apply a top-dressing of a balanced slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone (organic) or Osmacote (inorganic) around the base of the plant, ensuring that none touches the leaves or stems.
