Compact and super tough, this is the ideal grey-leaved plant for the modern, time-poor gardener. Create a low silver hedge to border pastel-coloured flower gardens or clip into a ball as an architectural garden or pot feature. ‘Silver Box’ has a much tighter habit than other Teucriums making it the perfect topiary specimen that makes the perfect foil as a background shrub, or as a in the foreground as an easy-care centrepiece.
Plant in full sun in free draining soil. Very low water requirements once established. Can withstand dry conditions and prefers a site with good drainage. A light trim after flowering will encourage a dense habit. If hedging, light but frequent prunes will help maintain desired shape. An application of slow release fertiliser after flowering is recommended. Grows 1m H x 60cm W.
