Buxus

Buxus, commonly known as boxwood, is a popular evergreen shrub prized for its dense, compact foliage and versatility in landscape design. This hardy plant features small, glossy leaves that can vary in color from dark green to golden yellow, depending on the variety. Buxus thrives in well-draining soil and prefers partial to full sun, making it suitable for a range of garden settings. It is commonly used for hedging, topiary, and formal garden designs due to its ability to be easily shaped and pruned. Boxwood is relatively low-maintenance, requiring regular watering during dry periods but being tolerant of drought once established. This resilient shrub is also known for its resistance to pests and diseases, making it a favorite among gardeners. With proper care, Buxus can thrive for many years, providing timeless beauty and structure to outdoor spaces.
