A boxwood hedge is a versatile and popular choice for
creating formal garden features. The plant features with its dense foliage with
small, dark green leaves that retain their color year-round. The slow growth
rate allows for precise shaping and trimming, making it ideal for creating
defined borders, intricate topiaries, and structured hedges. Boxwood hedges
thrive in well-drained soil with partial shade to full sun exposure. With
regular pruning and proper care, they add an elegant touch, provide privacy,
and contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of gardens and landscapes.

growth.
2. Water consistently, providing adequate moisture without
overwatering.
