Buxus microphylla
How to use it
Boxwood is commonly used in landscaping for hedges and borders due to its dense, evergreen foliage. It can also be shaped into artistic topiary forms, making it a popular choice for formal gardens. Additionally, its ability to thrive in various soil types makes it a resilient option for gardeners looking to add structure to their outdoor spaces. [4, 19]

Gardening tip
When planting Boxwood, make sure to dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the root itself. This helps the plant establish a strong root system in its new home.

In the kitchen
Boxwood is not eaten by humans, so it's best to admire this plant for its beauty rather than its culinary uses.
