American Boxwood Spiral Topiary – 7 Gallon Pot

This is the spiral topiary form of the American Boxwood, Buxus sempervirens, a soft-textured shrub that will grow in sun or part shade. The foliage is glossy, blue-green and rarely requires pruning. Whether growing in the ground or in containers, this refined topiary is excellent as a centerpiece or focal point specimen in small garden spaces, or use two to frame an entryway.

Growing to about 5 to 8 feet in height and 1.5 feet to 2 feet wide at the base, the American Boxwood Spiral 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.

The American Boxwood Spiral 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. In our gardens, we have one growing in almost full shade under a large oak tree and it’s doing fine, though might not be quite as dense as those growing in part shade or sun. When grown in full sun the foliage takes on a bronze cast in winter. To avoid damage to new growth that can be stimulated by pruning, cease pruning two months prior to the average first frost date in your area.
