The Buxus Sempervirens (also known as Box or Topiary) are a must for any garden and are a very hardy plant. Clip the plant to keep the required shape, this should be done before there is too much growth as it will be harder to reshape the plant.  Clipping should be done in the growing season, from May and no later than the end of August.  If you see the small pale yellow flowers in the early spring remove them from the plant by nipping them out. If the plant flowers too much it takes the nutrients from the leaves.  Box is a very forgiving plant and does well in most situations. Finally, if the plant is in full sunlight in a planter, turn the whole thing around once a fortnight to prevent the root system from scorching.
