Harland boxwood
Harland boxwood (Buxus harlandii) is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub, forming a dense, neat habit perfect for intricate topiary, low hedges, and formal garden designs in the UK. Its small, glossy leaves provide year-round structure and excellent resilience, making it a superb alternative to common boxwood, especially where box blight is a concern.
