Buxus sempervirens Pyramidalis

Buxus sempervirens ‘Pyramidalis’ is a classic boxwood cultivar grown for its naturally conical to narrowly upright form. This cultivar provides a formal, architectural presence in the landscape and can be left unpruned or lightly sheared to maintain a sharp silhouette. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with consistent moisture, growing at a slow to moderate rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–8, it can reach 10–12 feet tall while remaining relatively narrow, making it well suited for entrances, symmetry plantings, and vertical accents.
