Description

This is the 2-ball poodle tier topiary form of the Common Boxwood, Buxus sempervirens, a soft textured shrub that will grow in sun or part shade. The foliage is a glossy, deep green and rarely requires pruning. Whether growing in the ground or in containers, this refined topiary is excellent for accentuating entryways or as a centerpiece or focal point specimen in small garden spaces.

Landscape & Gardens Uses

Growing to maybe 5 to 6 feet in height and 1.5 feet to 2 feet wide at the base, depending on pruning, the Common Boxwood poodle tier topiary is a perfect choice to accentuate entryways. It is also useful as a distinctive specimen or grouping in landscape borders and home foundation plantings, or to mark corners. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to topiary gardens, formal gardens, English gardens, and cottage gardens.

Growing Preferences

The Common Boxwood Poodle Tier is very easy to grow and requires minimal pruning to maintain its spiral form. It will grow in a wide range of soils but prefers a moist, well-drained loam in full sun to part shade. When grown in containers, we suggest a 50/50 mix of potting soil and potting mix in a well draining pot. To avoid damage to new growth that can be stimulated by pruning, cease trimming two months prior to the average first-frost date in your area.
