Boxwood - What fits? Suggestions and ideas for garden design
Be it square or round, as a hedge or a ball - with box trees you can set beautiful accents in the garden. As the evergreen trees retain their brilliant green even in winter, they can be combined well with various summer-green plants. Especially beautiful are compilations of boxwood with roses, lush flowering perennials or plants with variegated foliage.
Combine boxwood with perennials
Under perennials, the gardener understands flowering plants whose above-ground parts die off in the autumn and which in the spring expel them from the roots again. They are available in countless colors, shapes and sizes, from which colorful summer beds, but also unique one- or two-tone discounts can be put together. In between fit cut boxwood solitaire as well as a low boxwood hedge as edging. Stags like this are wonderful for books:
Also different grasses, bulbs and tubers as well as groundcover fit very well with the boxwood.
Roses and boxwood - the perfect combination
Just to call classic is the framed by a low boxwood hedge Rosary with a selection of gorgeous in different colors flowering noble or Beetrosen. If you opt for more flowering varieties, you will enjoy this composition for a particularly long time. Many bedding and shrub rose varieties belong to this category, but also some rose species are characterized by a particularly long flowering period. If you like it more natural, you can turn to wild roses, which can be used to create beautiful mixed hedges in combination with correspondingly vigorous varieties of beech.
Pay attention to the location and care needs when compiling
When choosing an attractive combination of plants, however, you should not only look after the appearance, but also keep an eye on the location and care needs of the different species. Suitable plant species like a sunny to partially shaded location as well as a humus rich, rather fresh and calcareous soil.
Tips
Boxwood borders do not have to be kept boring rectangular. Interesting are also other geometric or even entangled bed forms.
