Buxus Suffruticosa (Buxus sempervirens Suffruticosa) or ‘Dutch Box’

An excellent low growing Box Hedge for Australian gardens Buxus Suffruticosa is a slow growing box hedging plant well suited for low hedges along pathways. Buxus sempervirens Suffruticosa have a rounded leaf, the foliage is dark and dense growing. Probably best suited to low hedges or borders of 30 – 50 cm.

Also suited to container growing where it can be shaped into balls or boxes as required.
