What you need to know when you buy English Box:
Firstly, English Box is low maintenance, meaning it only needs a trim 1-2 times per year to keep its shape as a very neat hedge or border.
This means that English Box plants are slow growing, so if you want to get a perfect low box hedge or border in a hurry, you might want to invest in larger English Box plants.
You need to buy at least 5 English Box plants per metre of border or hedge you want to create. Some traditional gardening books recommend planting even more! So it pays to take advantage of one of our bulk discounts on English Box.
