A boxwood
hedge, being an evergreen, will provide greenery and protection
year round. The thick covering of leaves on a boxwood hedge
gives the impression of a continuous surface. Boxwood hedges
can easily live up to three hundred years old or more. There
are blooms on a boxwood hedge in the spring, but the flowers
are very small, and have little visual interest.
Boxwood
hedges also vary in size based on species. They can range
from only a foot tall to twenty feet tall. Most species of
boxwood hedges grow very slowly, often less than one inch
per year. The hardiness of a boxwood hedge also depends on
the species and cultivar. There are boxwood hedges that are
hardy in zone six, and some that can even grow as cold as
zone four.
