Liquorice Plant is a moderately hardy shrub that will tolerate mild frosts and extended dry periods. It prefers well drained soil and good air movement. It makes an excellent hedge or centrepiece for your garden, or it can also be grown in tubs and patio pots.
The felty foliage have a stunning, almost luminescent color which give the plant central place in any perennial garden. It will grow to approximately 1.3m in height. It grows very well in part shade or full sun and the soft cream flowers are excellent for drying and floral arrangements.

| Content | | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
