About this plant
Buxus sempervirens 'Fastigiata', commonly known as the fastigiate or upright boxwood, is a striking, columnar evergreen shrub prized for its narrow, vertical growth habit and dense, glossy green foliage. It is ideal for small spaces, formal hedging, or as a vertical accent in garden designs. This cultivar is low-maintenance and lends itself well to pruning and shaping. With year-round interest, it provides excellent structure to landscapes and tolerates urban environments well.
