Box ' Buxus' Balls with Tapered Plastic Planters 25cm (Pair) It's hard to beat the sleek & simple lines of well-trimmed quality Buxus balls, adding a smart, modern, yet classic, look to any garden. Whether dressing either side of a classic porch or decorating minimalist decking gardens, it's hard to think of another easy to grow & versatile plant that's as good as Box. Totally hardy too, leave them out all year
- they look great covered in snow too. Grown slowly over 4 years, regularly trimmed 2 or 3 times a year to get the fabulous razor-sharp ball shape, they are super-green & fresh, & the centres have none of the brown middle die-back cheaper Box can suffer from. The key with Box is not to let them dry out
- especially when in full sun for much of the day. Keep the roots cool & well-watered. Trim with sharp shears once or twice a year, & feed with a balanced fertiliser from May to September, applied to the soil. Start thinking of those containers you may put them in now, & take advantage of these very special quality plants. Top tip: to avoid the ever increasing Box blight, avoid, cool, wet, damp, shady conditions
- grow in sunny, draughty spots, & water the soil in the pot & not the foliage where possible. Specifications Ideal for: Pots, containers, placing either side of doorways, pathways, gateways. Position: Sun Height/ Spread: 1m/1m Hardiness: Winter Hardy Supplied as: A 25cm (10in) diameter, multi-trimmed 4 year old Box ball, in a decorative terraplastic planter.
