The classic low hedge for Adelaide gardens. Small glossy evergreen leaves that clip into a crisp edge and hold it for decades. Faster and more heat-tolerant than English box, which is why it is the box you see in the best front gardens here.
Why you'll love it
- Clips to any height — hold it anywhere from 30 cm up and it stays put.
- Evergreen — sharp and green all year.
- Loves Adelaide soil — alkaline is no problem.
- Safe beside paths and driveways — small fibrous roots, so plant it right up against paving.
- Brilliant in pots — one of the best long-term container plants there is.
Best for
- Low formal hedges and garden edging
- Parterres and clipped shapes
- Pots either side of a front door
- Driveway edges
