Buxus sempervirens (Boxwood)

Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) is a versatile evergreen shrub with dense, compact foliage. It is often used for hedges, topiaries, and as foundation plantings due to its low maintenance and ability to be pruned into various shapes. The small, glossy leaves are dark green and emit a pleasant aroma when crushed. Boxwood is known for its tolerance to shade and can thrive in a variety of soil conditions.
