| 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. | Betula pendula
An elegant deciduous tree with soft, white bark.
• Small green leaves that turn vibrant yellow in autumn
• Beautiful feature tree, planted in groups or used along driveways, fence lines or avenues
• Low maintenance, tolerating frost, snow and drought once established. | Stachys byzantina (syn. lanata)
Irresistibly soft, furry silver foliage, the 'Lambs Ear' is a must have in every Cottage garden.
• Tall purple flowers
• Looks great in pots, rockeries, along pathways and mass planted
• Tolerates dry soils
6"/14cm pot size. |
| Content | | Silver birches are a small growing tree with an inoffensive root system that’s beautiful all year round. They will make your property looks a million dollars because although Silver Birch are inexpensive, nothing else looks as classic in the garden.
In winter Silver Birch Trees have a lovely naked tree with a fabulous white trunk! To enhance that feature, you can plant them in clumps of 2 or 3 silver birch trees and together the white trunks look more beautiful. In spring and summer you have beautiful fine lacy green foliage, giving fabulous dappled shade. These trees are beautiful where you want some shade but you don’t want total shade or darkness.
The silver birch looks great with an old fashioned house and silver birches look absolutely fabulous with modern buildings as well. Either in a modern setting or an old fashioned setting, classic garden or a modern garden, silver birches look amazing!
