Description

Buxus microphylla 

Korean Box is a fantastic compact shrub with long but finer leaves than most buxus. It's foliage is a bright green long oval shape with gloss. It is one of the lowest growing buxus and so is ideal for box hedging, however it can tend to turn yellow in full sun, so it will prefer a part shade/filtered light position. Korean box is one of the slower growing varieties and is great in pots or as topiary's. This plant has a moderate growth rate that grows to approximately 50-60cm in height. Plant every 20cm - 5 per meter for an optimum hedge.

Choisya ternata

Mexican Orange Blossom is so named as it's flowers are of a similar nature and scent to an orange tree! The foliage is a mid to light green and is covered with masses of scented white flowers through Spring and Summer. This attractive shrub will grow to approx. 1.5 - 2m, but is happy to be clipped to suit. As a result it can be also used as a hedge or screen. It is best grown in full sun or part shade and is reasonably frost tolerant.

Sedum spurium

Chocolate BLOB® is a versatile and low maintenance solution, great for filling small spaces. It displays rich red-brown tinted foliage that is ornamental in itself but also studded with dark pink flowers in autumn. Great effects can be achieved where it can spill between rock crevices, over walls or other edges. Forms a cushion-like mound for a highly textural ground cover Chocolate Blob is best placed in a well draining, sunny location. This variety is both frost and dry hardy. Ideal for use in containers, small spaces and pots. 6"/14cm pot size
