This form of Buxus was selected for its dark green glossy leaves and vigorous, upright growth habit. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, free-draining soil.

 Buxus handsworthiensis is a popular choice for hedging and topiary work, as well as being well-suited to container growth. Regular trimming helps maintain its shape, ensuring a neat and tidy appearance. Hardy and evergreen, it offers structure and year-round greenery to the garden.
