Buxus longifoilia

Buxus sempervirens 'longifolia' is an unusual form of the 'English Box'. The leaves are longer and slimmer than normal and a deep glossy green colour.

The Buxus longifoilia is a compact evergreen shrub with glossy green round leaves and dense foliage.

It is fast-growing and ideal for hedging, screening, and container gardening.

This shrub can withstand frost and high temperatures, and thrives in well-drained, sunny soil. Regular watering is important during the first 12 weeks after planting, and it should be fertilized in the spring and pruned as needed for shape.

At maturity, it reaches a height and width of 0.5m - 1m.
