Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as Common Box or European boxwood, took center stage at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in 2013. The Brewin Dolphin garden, designed by Robert Myers, showcased this versatile plant and was awarded a well-deserved Gold medal. The beauty was captured in a handcoloured stipple engraving by Pierre-Joseph Redoute from Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's Treat des Arbres et Shrustes. This illustration highlighted the different varieties including gigantea, heterophylla, and leptophylla. Another stunning display featuring Buxus sempervirens was found in the M&G Centenary garden designed by Roger Platts. This captivating design also received a Gold medal for its exquisite use of plants such as Burnet and Sanguisorba White Tanna alongside the elegant Common Box. In the Daily Telegraph garden designed by Christopher Bradley Hole, Buxus sempervirens played a vital role in creating an enchanting atmosphere. A Japanese-style planting with box balls and bamboo added an element of tranquility to this remarkable space. Known for its versatility and timeless appeal, often used to create beautiful box hedges. Its dense foliage provides privacy while adding structure to any garden design. Whether it's at the Chelsea Flower Show or adorning gardens worldwide, Buxus sempervirens continues to captivate with its classic elegance. As one of nature's most beloved plants, it remains synonymous with sophistication and enduring beauty.
