Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Width at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Application
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Buy buxus sempervirens (box hedge)

Buxus sempervirens, more commonly known as common box or boxwood, is a versatile and classic choice for gardeners looking to cultivate a formal hedge. Renowned for its dense and evergreen foliage, it adds structure and elegance to any landscape throughout the year. This species is particularly favored for its adaptability to various pruning styles and its resilience in different climatic conditions.

The plant's presence in gardens spans centuries, reflecting its enduring appeal and reliability as a hedge plant. Whether shaped into intricate topiaries or used as a simple border, Buxus sempervirens remains a mainstay of horticultural design.

Key Features

  • Buxus sempervirens exhibits a moderate growth rate, which allows for easy maintenance and shape retention.
  • Its compact growth habit ensures a quickly obscuring visual density, ideal for creating private garden spaces or neat borders.
  • As Abassian boxwood, it is characterized by its hardiness, withstanding temperatures as low as USDA zone 6, making it suitable for a variety of climates.
  • The plant flourishes in all well-drained soil types and can thrive in full sun to shade, offering flexibility in garden placement.
  • With its small, lush green leaves, Buxus sempervirens delivers year-round color and can also produce subtle yellow-green flowers in the spring, adding to its charm.
  • The species' evergreen foliage not only provides year-long visual interest but also serves as a stalwart backdrop for other seasonal blooms.

Tips

  • Though Buxus sempervirens is drought resistant, it will benefit from regular watering during extended dry periods, especially when young.
  • Annual pruning is recommended to maintain your desired shape; however, the plant is forgiving and can be left to grow with minimal intervention if preferred.
  • When propagating through semi-ripe cuttings, ensure that they are taken during summer months for the best chance of successful rooting.
  • It is advisable to fertilize the plant in the spring to promote vigorous growth and enhance the vibrancy of the foliage.

  • Watering
  • Fertilising

Ideal placement of a Buxus hedge

For an Buxus hedge, selecting a location that accommodates its adaptability is key. It prospers in a wide range of lighting from full sun to shade, making it a versatile choice for garden design. The species thrives in well-drained soils and exhibits good winter hardiness, tolerating temperatures down to -23.3°C (USDA zone 6). Its evergreen foliage maintains a vibrant green hue throughout all seasons, contributing to a consistently dense visual barrier. Ensure the chosen site allows for adequate drainage to support its growth and health.

Planting a Buxus hedge

For successful establishment, Buxus sempervirens, being a versatile and pot-grown specimen, can be planted throughout the year, avoiding periods of frost. Begin by digging a trench that is twice the width of the pot and equal in depth. Enrich the dug soil with a well-draining compost to facilitate robust root growth. Position the plant in the trench, ensuring it is level with the surrounding ground. Backfill the soil, pressing down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and provide essential moisture for the roots to adapt to their new environment.

Pruning a Buxus hedge

Pruning of Buxus sempervirens is primarily to maintain its dense, desired form and should ideally be performed once a year, typically in late spring after the last frost, to avoid any potential frost damage to new growth. The plant tolerates heavy shaping and can be sculpted into various formal designs. To ensure a lush, even appearance, remove any irregular or protruding shoots. Regular trimming also encourages the development of a thick hedge, enhancing its role as a quickly obscuring boundary or block hedge.

Watering a Buxus hedge

Buxus sempervirens boasts commendable drought resistance, requiring minimal supplemental watering once established. However, during the initial stages post-planting, regular watering is crucial to support the development of a strong root system. Afterward, watering should be done sparingly, only to prevent the soil from becoming excessively dry. It's particularly important in periods of extended dry spells or unseasonably high temperatures. Ensuring the soil remains well-drained will prevent waterlogging, which this species does not tolerate well. During the winter months, the natural precipitation is typically sufficient to meet the plant's hydration needs.

Fertilising a Buxus hedge

To ensure a lush and dense box hedge, regular fertilization is essential. Buxus sempervirens benefits greatly from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring. This application provides essential nutrients that support new growth, which is particularly important given its modest annual growth rate of 10-20 cm. A second application in mid-summer can help sustain its vibrant green foliage throughout the growing season.

An ideal fertilizer for this evergreen hedge would contain a mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, along with trace elements to promote strong root development and robust health. By adhering to this fertilizing regimen, gardeners can help ensure that their box hedge remains a vibrant and hardy boundary or garden feature, even during the colder months, thanks to its notable winter hardiness.

The characteristics of a Buxus hedge

Buxus sempervirens thrives with a little extra attention to its roots. A pot-grown specimen benefits from periodic repotting to ensure it has ample room to expand. Consider mulching the surface of the soil to help retain moisture and protect the root system. With their dense foliage, these plants are excellent for creating structured designs in the garden, such as hedges or topiary art. They are also remarkably resilient and can endure shaping to maintain a desired form.

The ideal variety for you Buy buxus sempervirens (box hedge)

The Buxus sempervirens, with its lush, evergreen foliage, offers year-round beauty and structure to any garden. This classic plant is revered for its versatility, thriving in both sun and partial shade. It's perfect for topiary, borders, or as a stately standalone, enhancing the elegance of your outdoor space.
