This hardy evergreen is an excellent choice for low to medium formal hedges along walls or walkways. The Japanese Boxwood has attractive, bright green foliage that looks beautiful against buildings when used as a foundation plant. Buxus japonica is a great choice for pruning into topiary or geometric shapes when desired. Plant in well drained soil with planting mix blended into native soil. Water deeply and regularly during warm months and allow the soil to dry out between watering in cooler months.
"Japanese Boxwood is that classic border hedge look. I love the look of that clean, neat hedge along walkways and borders. The Japanese Boxwood is the best plant I've found for the job. It's a super clean evergreen shrub that just works. Its easy to maintain and care for and looks green and beautiful all the time. "
